This type of error occurs when you have multiple Microsoft Office versions on the computer. This eventually leads to a conflict of registry entries, which can affect users that have an Exchange account too.

- Firstly, click the Start button.

- Navigate to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTWow6432NodeTypeLib{00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} registry key.
