COM Objects

I am having some trouble instantiating a COM object, it seems to crash my
web server every time I call the line.



$tve=new COM("TVE3COM.TVE");



I have downloaded a trial version of the Turbo Video Engine SDK and this was
a line I got from the php examples folder.



Is anyone familiar with this SDK? I ran the installer which I guess would
install the files in the correct location. Or do I need to have the DLL's
in the same directory?



I am very new to all of this.



Thanks again,



Nathan
