Why can't I install shell extensions in vista anymore?

0

I think my pc is in a strange state. I can't seem to install any shell extensions (though I was able to at one point). Does anyone why this could be? Is there anything I can do to verify new extensions can be installed?

When installing either of the 2 below it appears to work but the shell remains the same:

use ShellExView to check whether the new extensions are disabled.

Cool tool! Both shell extensions were disabled. Is there anything that would make this the default action when installing extensions? I'd like to disable that if its the case. – Dane O'Connor – 2009-09-18T16:22:15.733

beats me what went wrong, but i had the problem before, so ShellExView is handy to have around. :) – None – 2009-09-18T16:26:33.167
