>The symptom you described typically indicates that a file
named Csapi3t1.dll is missing or corrupted, or that its
Registry entry needs to be fixed. Launch REGEDIT from the
Start menu's Run dialog and navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools. In
the right-hand pane, find the value named SharedFilesDir.
Its data should be the location of the shared Office
files, and it absolutely must include a trailing
backslash, like so: C:\Program Files\Common Files\
Microsoft Shared\. If this value's data is not correct,
double-click on it and enter the correct value, being sure
to end with a trailing backslash.

If that doesn't help, the file may be missing or faulty. A
Google search on the filename will turn up a number of
sites from which you can download the missing file. Put
the downloaded file in the folder named Proof below the
SharedFilesDir value you identified in the previous step;
for example, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof.
