SAP GUI session crashes in Windows 7

Question

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and I'm using SAP GUI 7.10 compilation 4 / patch 14.
Here's what happened:
- i've logged into SAP client, entered a standard transaction (ESWTMON01 or EDATEXMON01), pressed click on a switch document or ID POD and then freezes.
On my screen I have the transaction screen and the busy pointer of the mouse, nothing else.
I've looked into SapWorkDir folder for a trace file (sapfewdll_01_0002_00_2176_1408.err.trc)
Here's the content:
(Error)(02.02.10 09:58:56.253):    CALL METHOD "CreateControl"[DispID=5] OF [#8/0x052A70B8/101/{83658045-6571-3232-7082-797884697868}]
                    #0: LONG "129"
                    #1: STRING "SAPGUI.GridViewCtrl.1"
                    #2: LONG "1409286144"
                    #3: LONG "128"
IDispatch::Invoke raised exception
Does anybody know what's the cause of this crash? is it SAP GUI, the patch, my OS?
I've tried every standard transaction in SAP IS-U, it works for a couple of minutes, then SAP GUI freezes.
I can only stop the session from Task Manager.
If someone had this problem before, I'd be more than glad to hear a solution.
Thank you,
Eduard M.

Hello Eduard
Try to register the gridview.ocx manually in Windows 7 system.
From Start->Accessories, right click on "Command Prompt" option and select "Run as Administrator".
Now in the command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32 folder
Now type regsvr32 <path>\gridview.ocx
E.g: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\gridview.ocx"
The registration should be successful.
Hope this should resolve the issue.
