SYMPTOMS
The following may occur when certain common controls are used on a system that does not include Internet Explorer 3.x or later:


 * Certain common controls fail to function.
 * Applications that include the common controls generate page faults.
 * An "entry point not found in Comctl32.dll" error occurs.

CAUSE
The Pager, ComboBoxEx, Rebar, Date/Time Picker, Month/Calendar, and IP Address controls are not included in Comctl32.dll until version 4.70.

RESOLUTION
