A:
There is not really much to go on, but it looks like your program is missing some unspecified dependancy. Maybe you should check the installation was correct? It might be an idea to reinstall the program.

A:
This is probably a Crystal reports activex control/dll that hasn't been registered, which means your app can't find it in the registry.
If you can work out which one it is, use regsrv32 to register it, otherwise try re-installing Crystal reports.

A:
The runtime version of the crystal report control is not correctly registered. Find & register 'crystl32.ocx', using regsvr. Ensure that it is in the WinSys path(i.e c:/Windows/System32). The dependacy files 'crystl32.dep' should also be on the path. This should sort you out.
