Excel ActiveX ControlBox Cannot Insert Object error

Hi,

Every time I try to insert an ActiveX control (eg command button) from the control toolbox onto an Excel worksheet, I get the error "Cannot Insert Object". I've spent two hours searching the internet for a solution and nothing seems to help. I thought I may need to register an ocx file, but if so, I don't know what it's called. I tried registering the fm20.dll file, but I still get the error after doing that. Does anyone have any suggestions? This problem also prevents me from running macros in existing workbooks that have ActiveX controls, returning "unexpected error (32811)".
