Cause

This issue may occur if the original release version of the Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system is installed on the same computer as the Beta 2 Technical Refresh version of the 2007 Microsoft Office programs. When this version of the Compatibility Pack is installed, the Mso.dll file is updated to version 12.4518.1014.0. This version is later than the Mso.dll file that is installed by the Beta 2 Technical Refresh version of the 2007 Office programs. The Mso.dll file that is installed by the original release version of the Compatibility Pack is incompatible with the Beta 2 Technical Refresh version of the 2007 Office programs.
