have you tried to reinstall it?

[Black-axe]

Reinstalled 3 times already and still the same, (Run-time error '429', activex component can't create object).

[Osiris]

uninstall it and then install it but use the windows compatibility mode for windows 2000

[Black-axe]

how do I do that?

[Osiris]

Navigate to the directory that contains the program executable.
(For this example IÂ’m using WinZip)
C:\Program Files\Utilities\WinZip
Right click on the program executable (it ends in .exe) and click [Properties]
A screen similar to the one below should appear.


Click the [Compatibility] tab to open the WINZIP32.EXE property sheet.



Click the [Run this program in compatibility mode for:] box and select the operating system you wish to invoke compatibility for from the drop-down menu.
If you want to place restrictions on colors, screen resolution, or visual themes pertaining to this program use the appropriate check boxes.
Click [Apply] then [OK] to exit the property sheet.

Test the application and if necessary change your selection to a different operating system until you find the compatibility mode which offers the greatest stability.

The 429 error can also be caused by Norton Antivirus software.
Unregister NAV (regsvr32 /u "c:\program
files\navnt\officeav.dll") and the problem might be solved

I am not using norton antivirus, I use AVG
