Excel - Interface not installed

[Ghost_CVI]

Hi,

I try to control Excel with ActiveX-interface. Because it was running before, I also tried it with your excel200demo of "FindExamples".

When I try to launch Excel the following screenshot appears "Screenshot_LAUNCHEXCEL".

When I start Excel manually and try to connect, I get the message "Interface not registered" (Screenshot_CONNECTEXCEL).

I reregistered the ole32.dll again, but this didn't help.

I'm using Office2003 SP3 on WinXP.

Thank you for answering.

Now I know, that I have to reinstall Win XP. I'm not able to choose the item "Property" because it doesn't exists on my PC.

Afterwards I hope it will work again.
