Problems with running RegSvr32 in Windows Vista Build 5259

I am getting a return cod of 0x80070005 when trying to perform the RegSvr32 command on one of my COM components.  Has anyone also experienced this problem and know how to resolve it.  I am running in admin mode but for some reason it keeps failing with whichever components that I use.  On WinXP it works just fine.  Thanks in advance for the help and comments.

    Set a breakpoint on your DLL's DllRegisterServer and step through it to see why you're returning E_ACCESSDENIED.

    We're all programmers here. Hook up a debugger to see what the problem is.

    Duh. Run command prompt as Administrator... (never mind)
