What are WDec3.ocx Error Messages?


ActiveX-Related WDec3.ocx Errors

WDec3.ocx is considered a type of COM file, or Component Object Model, most commonly known as an ActiveX control. ActiveX controls like WDec3.ocx are used by Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter and other software to display media-related content. Therefore, your will most likely encounter a WDec3.ocx error when attempting to load an audio or video clip, or view some variety of embedded website content. Some of the most common WDec3.ocx ActiveX errors include:

These OCX errors are most commonly due a missing or corrupt OCX. If your file is missing or corrupt, this could be caused by improper computer shutdown, or a malware infection, both of which could corrupt (or even delete) WDec3.ocx. If your WDec3.ocx is corrupted or missing, and therefore cannot be properly loaded by Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter, this will result in an error message.

Finally, another common cause of WDec3.ocx ActiveX errors can be contributed to an ActiveX-related subkey missing from the Windows registry. Broken DLL (Dynamic Link Library) references in the Windows registry can prevent WDec3.ocx from registering properly, resulting in an ActiveX error. These broken references (registry keys) are usually triggered by a moved or missing file, or as a result of a leftover DLL file reference after a shared program has been uninstalled.



How to Fix WDec3.ocx Errors in 4 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your WDec3.ocx issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Use Microsoft Register Server (regsvr) to Manually Register Your WDec3.ocx File

When you install Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter, or another software that uses the WDec3.ocx dependency, the software should register the file automatically. Sometimes your OCX file won't get registered properly and will trigger a "WDec3.ocx not registered" error. Thankfully, Microsoft included a handy built-in utility called "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe) to enable you to manually re-register your WDec3.ocx file.

  3. While holding CTRL-Shift, hit ENTER.
  4. You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
  5. Click Yes.
  6. Type this command: regsvr32 /u WDec3.ocx

  8. Type this command: regsvr32 /i WDec3.ocx
  9. Hit ENTER. This process will RE-register your file.
  10. Close the command prompt window.
  11. Re-start Intelliscore Polyphonic WAV to MIDI Converter.

Step 4: Perform a Windows Update.

  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the WDec3.ocx error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your WDec3.ocx File (Caution: Advanced)
