Salon Maid Software RUN-TIME ERROR 429 , ActiveX Component Can't Create Object

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in some Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Access, etc...).
 
From Microsoft's support site: "You may receive the "Run-time error '429': Active X component can't create object" error message when you start a third party application, after you install Office 2000 SR-1 or other Microsoft Office products."
 
Basically, a Microsoft Office product (Word, Excel, Access, etc...) has corrupted an entry in your Windows Registry, which now you need to fix on your Windows, otherwise your Windows will not be able to run any Active X components, from any software titles (not just ours) that utilize Active X components and sooner or later you will see many more problems with more software titles.
 
Here is the Microsoft Support Page for this Microsoft BUG with instructions on how to fix it :

If you cannot follow those instructions, if you find them to challenging, a simpler way to fix this is to remove and reinstall Windows and all software on your PC, all over again, and avoid installing any Microsoft Office products this time (or try a different version of office products or a different service pack maybe).
