Method 1: Make sure that the Cdosys.dll file is correctly registered

1. Determine whether the Cdosys.dll file is correctly registered. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. Click Start, click Run, type regedt32, and then click OK.
   2. In Registry Editor, locate and then expand the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry subtree. Expand TypeLib, and then locate {CD000000-8B95-11D1-82DB-00C04FB1625D}.
   3. Expand {CD000000-8B95-11D1-82DB-00C04FB1625D}, expand 1.0, and then click 0.
   4. Click win32, and then confirm that the following value is displayed in the right panel:
      Drive:WINDOWSsystem32cdosys.dll
2. Register the Cdosys.dll file. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 %systemroot%system32cdosys.dll, and then click OK.
      
      Note You may receive the 0x800704da error code if multiple versions of CDO exist on the same operating system. To resolve this issue, use the regsrv32 -u cdosys.dll command to unregister the Cdosys.dll file. Then, reregister the Cdosys.dll file by running the following command:
      regsvr32 %systemroot%system32cdosys.dll
