You have an outdated version of OLEAUT32.DLL. What you need to do is:
Click Start, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. Double-click Office 2000.
Click Repair Office. Click Reinstall Office and click Finish. Because of the outdated version of Oleaut32.dll, you may receive error messages during the reinstallation. Click Ignore in each error message dialog box to continue. Or you can:
On Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98: Quit all running programs. Insert the Office 2000 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer. In the Office 2000 CD-ROM, browse to the System folder, copy Oleaut32.dll, and then paste it into C:\. Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode. Type the following at the MS-DOS prompt, and then press ENTER: " copy C:\oleaut32.dll c:\windows\system\oleaut32.dll" (without the quotation marks). The path may vary, according to the installation folder of Windows and your computer's operating system (for example, Winnt\System32). If you are asked to overwrite, press Y and then press ENTER. Run Office Setup, click Repair Office, and then click Reinstall.
