SharePoint JavaScript Error: Library Not Registered

The other day one of my clients upgraded from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007.  Since then, whenever she went to her company’s SharePoint site, she received the following error: 

==================================================================

Apparently the Outlook upgrade did something to a DLL (removed it?) that SharePoint needs.
If you have just upgraded from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 and you receive a similar error, simply run Office Diagnostics and it should fix the problem!

To run Office Diagnostics follow these steps:
1. Open Microsoft Outlook 2007
2. On the Help menu, click Office Diagnostics
3. Click Continue, and then click Start Diagnostics

    This was the solution to my issue with that stupid error keeping me from working with my sharepoint site. I inherrited a laptop from someone and had no idea an “upgrade” was performed. Thanks for this–SUPER HELPFUL!!

    Had this problem after upgrading to Office 2010.

    - Go to “Programs and features”
    - Right click Office, select “Change”
    - Run the repair

    This resolved it for me.

    Thanks so much for the solution to my problem. Our IT Department has been unable to resolve, so I did my own investigation and found your solution. Thanks again!

    Thanks so much for the solution to my problem. You can also use word 97, as the machine I was working was a server and it did have not have outlook. This is also worked for me.

    Yep, this worked for me as well. I was troubleshooting in all the wrong places…..ie uninstall/reinstall, profiles etc….but this worked perfectly:)

    Will pass it onto my team for future reference.

    cheers
