Have you tried uninstalling silverlight, then reinstalling it. That is usually the best thing to do first.

Also you can try other browsers as well. Firefox tends to work fine while IE throws that error in many cases.

Hey, I found this blog post while searching for help with fixing Microsoft Silverlight. I have recently switched browsers from Safari to IE. Now I seem to have a problem with loading websites that have Microsoft Silverlight. Everytime I go on a site that requires Microsoft Silverlight, my browser freezes and I get a “npctrl.dll” error. I can’t seem to find out how to fix the problem. Any help getting Microsoft Silverlight to work is greatly appreciated! Thanks

I spent weeks trying to figure out what was happening. My internet was working fine, but not my e-mails. At the end of the day, it is NOT Norton, Outlook, your ISP, Windows Explorer, etc. It is simply your modem. Go and unplug it for a minuite, make sure your connections are tight, then plug it back in. That should fix the problem.

I had a similar issue with an existing share that stopped working reporting the same issue
while other shares to the server worked fine from the mac

I tried changing to server IP address – no help

I went into the keychain manager and found one entery for JUST the server
example
192.168.10.x

username

I changed it to domain\username – no help
I then added another entry for 192.168.10.x
so that there were two entries as follows

one : username
two: domain\username

That fixed it – no server reboot

I also found using the IP fixed the problem as well, but once the normal naming is used, the problem returns.

Comment on Rails and Microsoft Sql Server by Steve

Great article! I struggled with this due to my SQL Server having a named instance. e.g. 192.168.0.1\SQLEXPRESS. Once I set up a default instance everything was fine.

Thanks!

Well this was originally posted to help with silverlight 1 upgrade and doesn’t seem to help with a failed silverlight 3 upgrade. The manual cleanup sadly is probably the best approach if the cleanup utility is not doing the trick for you. Just make sure you backup your registry before you edit it.
