What does the error "Cannot Use Object Linking and Embedding" that I get when using Word or Excel mean? Pages that link to <a href="https://ozoneasylum.com/backlink?for=5837" title="Pages that link to What does the error &amp;quot;Cannot Use Object Linking and Embedding&amp;quot; that I get when using Word or Excel mean?" rel="nofollow" >What does the error &quot;Cannot Use Object Linking and Embedding&quot; that I get when using Word or Excel mean?\

It probably means there is something wrong with the VBScript which is possibly caused by a virus like MS Blaster but it may also be that there is a simpler solution.

If you have updated your virus definitions and searched for the virus and you computer is clear try rebooting in safe mode and the rebooting in normal mode - this seems to fix most lingering problems.
