A few days ago a user hard a problem working with a Word XP document that
included embedded Excel XP spreadsheets. Since then when she opens Excel
spreadsheets that include VB they generate a VB error that says "object
library not registered". I did some troubleshooting and found that the
error does not occur logged on to the same PC as Administrator and the error
does not occur if I add the user to the local Administrators group. The
error also does not occur if the user logs onto another computer. I could
likely resolve this error by reimaging the PC, but I'd like to find a less
drastic solution if possible. Any thoughts?

Does the error occur if a second (non-admin) user logs in?

This might indicate that the product is not correctly registered for
'general' use and a re-install of the product may help.

If the second user is ok, then perhaps to login as admin and remove the
(first) user's profile, and allow this re-create might help.

Otherwise the re-image starts to look good.

For anyone that's curious someone outside of the newsgroups just provided
the answer and it worked beautifully. I had to reset registry permissions
as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296114.
