Hi Doug,

did you re-install word and excel and try?

I think that OLEAUT32.DLL might be curropt or something thing.

are there are macros that you are using by the way?

Anand

Sorry to be so late responding.  I've been out of town.

Yes, I did uninstall and reinstall MSOffice97.  Didn't help.
No, I'm not using macros - that I know of.  How do I verify this??

Doug

Hi Doug,

Did you install any application? Did this priblme start after installing 
some applciation by any chance?

Any way untill word or excell can load there is no way to check if macros 
are present.


Doug how comfortable are you with workign with the registry?

No new applications that I can remember.
(Sometimes) it will load - not often - but when it does, how can I check for
macros?

I'm very comfortable working with the Registry.

Thanks,
Doug

One more thing.  This may or may not help you:
Both Word and Excel will work without a problem in Safe Mode.

Hi Doug,

One way to find the macros would be to use the visual basic editor by 
pressing choosing the macros from the tools macros menu, and check what 
macros are available, if it is a custom template or something choose the 
template name from the macros in. Check if any macros within excel is trying 
to load word or something
as specified in the this link

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;217440

if any comment the line of code inteh macro and then save the file and then 
start excel again, do the same thing in word. It should work.

I was thinking if this does not work only then you may need to change the 
registry, I fell it may not be needed.

Hope this helped you

Thanks Anand,
I was able to open Word97 and clicked on Tools/Macros and saw a lot of them
mentioned.  I also opened Excel and did the same thing but NO macros were
listed.

So what do I do now??

Hi Doug,

Check The Security level for macros from TOOLS->MACROS->SECURITY, if the 
level is low, change it to HIGH, this would disable the macros from running. 
IF this solves the problem then it certainly problm with the macro, try the 
same thing with WORD also.

Hope this helps

Hi Doug,
I am not sure if this would help, but you can try it.

1) try and repalce the dll file with a another copy from another workign 
machine, makign sure its the same version and from a machine having office 
97. and see if things get working. In the mean while I'll just check wit 
hanother person too and get back.

Hi Doug,

Juts that dll file OLEAUT32.DLL. Don't delete the file, move it to some 
other directory, this file is located in the system32 directory in Windows 
XP. I think for other versions of Windows it should be in system32 directory 
itself. In case it is there, don't worry, move the OLEAUT32.DLL to a 
different directoy and copy the new OLEAUT32.dll from another computer 
runnign office 97 to system32 directory in your computer.

I guess you must use regsvr32 OLEAUT32. 



I hope it works.

Anand

"Who will guard the guards?"

I found it in C:\Windows\System.

I don't have access (at the moment) to another W98 computer with Word on it;
however, I found a website and downloaded a OLEAUT32.DLL file and replace
mine with the downloaded one.

Still get the error.  Of course the downloaded one could be bad but I doubt
it.

Doug

Hi Doug,

It could be that problem of the file downloaded from the net, I cna send you 
the file if you want, and try if it works. I have access to a machine that 
has Word 97
