Everytime I run Excel 2007 in windows 10, the stdole32.tlb box comes up and it has to reconfigure itself.  How do I stop this?

The fix to this problem is simply uninstall KB2767916, restart your computer and then run updates again. That's all.

  Hi Jeff,

           That sounds a very simple fix to the small problem. A question though, how does one - "non computer buff" - search for update KB2767916? When I try to type on cortana search bar I cant - another small problem!

Thanks.

Go to CONTROL PANEL (windows key + r, then type control and press enter).

Click on PROGRAMS and FEATURES.

On left side of screen click on VIEW INSTALLED UPDATES.

Look for the update - "Update for Microsoft Office 2007 suites (KB2767916) 32-bit Edition."

Uninstall it then restart your computer and run windows updates again.

    Hi Jeff

    That has got to be one of the most bizarre solutions to an issue that I have ever seen.

    BUT IT WORKS! while nothing else did.

    How one earth you managed to find that out is the question?

    Thank you so much for that.

    Tony

    Deduction. Because the problem was occurring in a couple of modules of MS Office 2007 and it appeared suddenly then it had to be something in an update Microsoft put out. Microsoft loves money, dropping support for tried and true applications and not telling anyone about it. So there you go. Glad it helped.

    I have heard nothing further from anyone about this. :(((

    Simple solution: abandon Office and use an alternative like Libreoffice. Works great for me!

    I just removed all Quality Updates dated 12/19/2017 for anything having to do with Office 2007. As soon as I finished I started Excel and no obnoxious stdole32.tlb pop-up! Immediately ran updates and reinstalled the Office updates that came up and ran Excel again and no obnoxious pop-up. Restarted computer and still no pop-up. Worked on two computers already.

    Thank you, Norman, and I did try what worked for Windows 8, but it did not work for Windows 10.  I was able to go in and rename the Setup File in the Microsoft Shared folder, and that has stopped the reconfiguring in Word and Excel.  It has not stopped the annoying box with stdole32.tlb that comes up when I open Excel, and I have to hit OK to move on.
