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.

    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.

    Hi 

    Just delete the update.

    I did this back in November and can barely remember the procedure.

    My view is that all the renaming fixes and many others are unnecessarily complex and people are too clever.

    The problem has not returned and MS auto updates have clearly occurred many times since.

    Keep it simple!

    I just ran across this same issue. I've renamed the setup.exe file and that has taken care of the re-configuring each time I start Excel but the stdole.tlb error still pops up. I've seen no activity in this thread since November 2017. Has no one come up with a solution? Does anyone at Microsoft acknowledge there is an issue or are they in denial mode?

    --- 

    I feel they caused the problem, so folks will pay them more money to get to their new version! Greedy people! It's all about money see?

    The fix is on the first page of this thread.
