Here's my mystery. I can't figure out why this is happening to people. Self-inflicted? From another post:
"The other problem "Word not registered" seems totally unrelated. Try the last solution (registering ole32.dll) from http://www.experts-exchange.com/Applications/Q_20763285.html (it takes quite a few page downs to come there). If that doesn't help, try the one before that (registering ALL dll's with a batch file)."

Just like Word's famous NORMAL.DOT issue, I wonder why Microsoft doesn't cure this recurring issues.
