I had a similar problem with XP a year or so ago.
On mine the; comdlg32.ocx was dated 03/10/98
To make it work I downoaded the same file but it is dated 05/22/2000
Can you show details on that print screen and repost?
That may give us a clue.

Oh i had that problem, it isn't the OS.
What i did was i cleanly removed GGDT, and i redownloaded and reinstalled it.
Worked perfectly fine after that. Windows XP doesn't have a compatibility tab cause you dont need it.

Install it? All that seems to happen with me is that I click agree, then open, then extract. No installing...
And i tried again and the same thing happened.

My bad, you just extract it
If it still doesn't work, then i have no idea

After you have extracted it, there will be an execute file (.exe, the largest one). Open that. You will probably get a security promp, say yes and GGDT will run. Make sure you extract all the files.

whenever i have compatibility issues for programs i run them on a different o/s under
http://www.virtualbox.org/ ...... always sorts it out. install virtualbox and run it, then install xp(if your currently on vista) as if your doing a fresh install and load up GGDT once xp is running under VB.

@jordzan
you don't have to go to that extent. Compatibility issues can be solved with a right click>properties>compatability as mentioned before. And its not compatability issues hes facing.
@Wildebeers
mind making us a video on the whole process of downloading, extracting and running so that we might be able to find the problem?
