I have tried EVERYTHING possible to fix this issue, and then finally
found the solution! Here it is, if you follow this, you will not have
anymore problems with this error!
***THIS FIX WAS ONLY TESTED WITH XP USING OFFICE 2K3, BUT SHOULD WORK
ON OTHERS***
1) Create a Windows Account with full control admin rights, and then
go ahead and log into that new account.
2) When under the newly created account, open every Office product you
have, then close one at a time (Excel, Word, PP, etc...)
3) After opening every Office App, go into the registry editor (Start
| Run, then type in Regedit)
4) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Office, and
highlight Office
5) Then right click on Office, and go to Export, save the .reg file to
somewhere you will be able to find it (Root of C:\ for me)
6) Log off your temp Windows account, and log back in under your
normal Windows account that was giving you the error.
7) Open regedit again, and then go to File | Import and pick the file
that was exported.
8) After it says that it was successfully imported, go ahead and try
the app that was giving you problems.
Now it should work, just like it did for me. Also, remember you delete
the temp account that you created!!
