Interface not Registered while attempting to send an e-mail using Word/Outlook 2003

If you receive this error message when attempting to send an e-mail using Word as your mail editor, you can use this download to help you fix this problem. It looks like basically a .dll file has become unregistered due to some other program. What you do with this batch file is put it into your System Root\system32 directory and run it from there. It will re-register all your .dll files in that system32 folder. This particular batch file is also good if you have issues with other things like missing search function in Windows XP or if you have a blank screen while accessing Windows Updates. The two I just mentioned normally mean your jscript.dll file has become unregistered and all you need to do is go to Start > Run > type in the box “regsvr32 jscript.dll” without the quotations. My hat goes off to the folks at Experts Exchange.

    Thank you! I was getting that error when trying to send emails with word in outlook xp - running the batch file solved everything.

    Just have to say… I’m normally very skeptical about running any batch files on my system. I backed up my system and prepped myself for a complete system reinstall after attempting this fix.

    This reassigned all of the system DLL files and of course this fixed the outlook error as well. Worked perfect…. I’m impressed.

    Robert, I totally understand and know that some people do put out malicious things that can harm computers. I would never do anything like that. I also did not create it and found it at I believe Experts-Exchange. Thank you for your kind comments though. I’m glad the batch file helped you.

    I had the same problem after installing Nero7. Thanks for your solution IT WORKS!.
    But, I couldn’t solve the other problem created by Nero7: I cannot play the avi files anymore (media player nor realplayer work) Any ideas

    I apologize, I have uploaded the Register.bat file. I am deeply sorry that my link was broken. I updated to the newest version of WordPress an in doing so deleted the file. It is back up there again.

    I need this batch file and the link is not working. Can anyone point me to another source for it? Thanks.

  17. 17 Administrator

    Are you sure the link is not working? I re-uploaded it a few days ago due to the link not working.

    When I click on the red “download” in the article at the start of this page I get a screen that says:

    for %%v in ( *.dll ) do regsvr32 /s %%v

    Is this what I am supposed to get? If so, I do not understand the instrustions in the article. Can you be more specific as to what to do?

    Thanks

    R.A. Thomas-Smyth,

    I apologize dearly. Try to use this: http://www.randomfix.com/fixes/Register.rar

    Let me know if that works for you.

    You saved my life, don’t know if Nero 7 is such a good idea!!

    another fix from Microsoft themselves…


    When using Word as the e-mail editor, you get the error “Interface Not
    Registered” when trying to send e-mail. To solve this so you can use Word as
    the editor again, close all running Office applications.

    In Start-> Run then type; Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\Ole32.dll

    Andy,

    I tried that, I do believe, but it still did not work properly. I had to go through and use the batch file to re-register all of the .dll files.

  23. 23 Andy

    Admin…no worries. I tried the batch and it didn’t work for me. I even tried the rar fix (probably same one lol) but still no joy. Whereas the MS fix did work for me. Try one and if it doesn’t then try the next…

  24. 24 Administrator

    Andy,

    Definitely. It’s always good to have alternative fixes. I know it helps me at work quite a bit. Thanks for visiting though.

    Great batch file. thanks for your help. Works like a dream!

    I used this batch file in BOTH system32 and system folders. It looked like it re-registered all .dll files, but for some reason i get the same error:

    “Microsoft Word is set to be your e-mail editor. However, Word is unavailable, not installed, or is not the same version as Outlook. The Outlook e-mail editor will be used instead.”

    Is there something else I can do? I can no longer use Microsoft Word or write emails using MS Word.

  30. 30 Josen

    Awesome!!! It works for me too

    I tried to run C:\Windows\system32\ole32.dll but it failed. i get a message saying return code was 0×80070005.
    The ole32.dll is in the system32 folder for certain. Can anybody help me out with great advice? I would be very thankful.

    Thanks a lot
