I would have posted this to the thread about this but apparently
Google won't let me do that. Something about the last message being
more than a month old.
We had the same problem with someone trying to startup Excel 10 under
MacOS X.2.8 and getting the following error.
Microsoft Visual Basic Class not registered. Looking for object with
CLSID: {AC9F2F90-E877-11CE-9F68-00A00574A4F}
We tried things like deleting the entire
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft folder but it didn't help. Neither
did several reinstallation of Office.
Evenually we discovered that the
/Applications/Microsoft Office X/Office/Startup/Excel/ directory
wasn't empty.
It contained PDFMaker.XLA a file helpfully placed there by Acrobat 6.
We've removed it and the problem seems to have gone away. The
interesting part will be that Acrobat has a self repair feature so
we'll see if it puts the little bugger back next time we run Acrobat
6.0.
Will let you know if it does.
