IE 8 error on Windows 7

[Nic303]

When i try to add a url to favorites in IE8 i get an error message:

Any solution for this?

Not sure - Class Not Registered usually means an IE binary is missing something in it's expected registry. You can try re-registering IE8 .dlls to see if that resolves it, but if not you'll probably have to use procmon to figure it out.

The repair script not working ("access is denied" even with administrator rights).

Have you tried to remove the IE from Control panel->turn on or off features, reboot and enable it again?

Yes.

Also, i have tried to reset IE ... and some tweaking programs.

I'm waiting few days for IE9 and hopefully, after upgrade, this problem will disappear.

If you're getting access denied errors, even when running it as administrator (the LOCAL administrator account, not just an account in the administrators group), I've actually seen this happen. It would be a permissions issue on registry keys where TrustedInstaller is the owner and rights for other groups are missing. Hard to say which it is, but if you were to run the script whilst running procmon, you could probably just filter on the access denied and find your culprit.
