Error: Library Not Registered

On our main Sharepoint page, we've got this drop-down-button in our main navigation that shows other sites and lets you click on them to access them. I believe it uses ActiveX controls. We've got one user (that we know of) who when she loads up the main page, that drop-down won't work for it...it just does nothing. At the bottom-left of the page, IE shows an "error on page." When I double click on it to get the error, it says the following:

Line: 1936
Char: 4
Error: Library not registered.
Code: 0
URL: (the url of the page)

The fix is to do the following:

- Open Word
- Click the Office button (Top-left in the window)
- Click Word Options
- Click Resources
- Click the Diagnose button
- Click through the wizard until it’s finished
- Close all browser windows

That’s fixed all of our issues…

If you are using Office-2003 then please follow the below mentioned steps:

-Word 2003
- Help
-detect and repair
- check discard my customized settings and restore default settings

I hope the above information will helps u to resolve the issue !! Thanks !!
