MSSTDFMT.DLL is missing
Sep 12, 2011
Hi
Recently I have noticed that my presenter is creating problem. Some symptoms.
1) It throws an error message
Error:class not Registered
You need the following file to be installed on your machine
MSSTDFMT.DLL is missing
2) When I click PlayerTemplate in Powerpoint Articulate ribbon, it goes in infinite loop and powerpoint hangs.
3) When I click Preview button that works fine.
4) it could be because of some software I have installed recently. But since I keep installing and uninstalling software I don';t know which one is creating problem.
How to fix the problem. Please help. I have the license copy of Articulate ?

Also, can you tell me what operating system you're using (Windows XP, Vista, or 7)?
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the response. I am running windows 7( 64 bit). Can I try the solution given in the link ?
I just want to be sure that it will not messup my OS.
Hi Rajesh,
Yes, you can run the command. However, the path might actually be different. Instead of:
regsvr32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSSTDFMT.DLL"
It might be:
regsvr32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\MSSTDFMT.DLL"
Thanks a lot Brian, that solved the problem of not being able to open Templates button.
Hi Rajesh,
Can you update me on what issues you're having now?
