Outlook using MS Word as e-mail editor

[Dave]

I always use MS Word as the text editor for Outlook e-mails. I now get an
error message when trying to send an e-mail "Interface not Registered" and
the e-mail does not send - I have to uncheck the option of using MS Word and
e-mails can be sent.

Another problem which seems to have occured at about the same time is when
using Internet Explorer V6 and then try to get a second window of Explorer
by selecting an item and holding the shift key the 2nd window fires up but
remains blank with the egg-timer running. (It is nothing to do with pop-ups
being blocked). This is causing problems on sites which fire up 2nd windows
of IE when selecting items such as my on-line e-mail system.

I use MS Office 2003 & Windows XP all with the latest service packs

Any ideas?

Your first problem with "Interface Not Registered" in OUtlook 2003 can be
solved by doing this:

To solve this so you are able to use Word as your e-mail editor close all
running Office applications.
Then use Start-> Run and type:

Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\Ole32.dll

This will correctly register the ole32.dll file in the registry. This has
happened to a lot of people in the last few days....not sure what the common
problem is....the only new software I installed was Nero 7 Ultra Edition.

Chris, just awesome.
I was having the exact same problem, and strangely enough I have only
installed Nero 7 ultra edition too!!
Thanks for the spot on fix!

Ta for this. It worked for me too. I've just installed Nero 7
Premium.

Me too - latest Nero 7 update broke OLE32.DLL registration.

This is apparently a problem with Nero 7 and Outlook 2003. I only
installed this and recieved this problem.
