    Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800154).....


    So EVERYTHING was working perfectly fine today on my Sony Vaio VGN-FW510D Laptop until I uninstalled Team Fortress 2 today. (It's a game) I used Revo Uninstaller to uninstall it and then scanned and deleted the leftovers (it scans and deletes leftover files and folders and registry strings/keys) ... everything was fine... then, I went to eat dinner.... I come back and log on... First problem I notice, no sound. For some reason there were no more sounds working anymore... I tried YouTube videos, going into Playback devices, sound check... nothing worked... The next problem was these two windows error boxes that now pop up when I log on.. The box both say:

    SmartWi Connection Utility

    Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154(REGDB_E_CLASSNOTRED))

    And now my wireless internet does not work! (That's the SmartWi..)
    Yes... right now I'm typing using a temporary wired connection
    So... being able to solve many computer related problems myself, I tried all of these methods and obviously did not succeed.. :

    - CCLEANER
    - Free Windows Registry Repair
    - Little Registry Cleaner
    - Windows Disk Check
    - Windows Memory Check
    - Safe Mode
    - System Restore
    - Uninstalling STEAM
    - Re-Installing SmartWi Connection

    Please.... anyone who's knowledgeable with registry keys and such, I think I accidentally deleted an important registry key with Revo Uninstaller and I need to do the Run: regsvr32 ______.dll thing... but I'm not experienced with it and I don't know which .dll's to put....
    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    So the problems are:
    - No Sound
    - No Wireless Internet

    I have a Sony Vaio Laptop and I'm using Windows 7 64-bit... this same message will be posted on other forums so please don't say something obvious like check Sony's forums..

    Hi, welcome to the forums :)

    Have you tried uninstalling the SmartWi software then downloading the latest version from the Sony site and re-installing?

    A re-install of the software should replace any missing registry entries that would have been previously removed, regardless of how.
