In assignment 29, we have a lab (Experiment Motion in the Gravitational Field of the Earth) to complete but I am having problems loading the simulation program. I tried the first way- going from sup study and downloads, physics but when i tried to download i got Component comdlg32.ocx or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid, i got this message for both the filing and non filing application. i also tried the DOS version and only got a black page once it downloaded. How can i fix this problem?

On your Assignments page, the very first content assignment is Introduction to Key Systems.
#2 on that page is the initial TIMER experiment. Click on the link, entitled 'Using the Timer Program'.
At the beginning of the experiment is the link to the TIMER program. In the very next paragraph are two bulleted items. The second addresses this error. The fix is very simple and well explained at that link, which is entitled 'comdlg32'.
We have developed a Java applet for the gravitational simulation, but haven't yet posted it or modified the instructions. The above fix is the easiest option. If it doesn't work then we can take a look at this alternative.
