Fix of problem where IE crashes when opening Office documents on SharePoint

Hi Guys:

Please follow these steps:
1>Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
2>Locate the OWSSUPP.DLL file and rename it to OWSSUPP.DLL.OLD.
3>Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11 folder.
4>Locate the OWSSUPP.DLL file and copy it.
5>Navigate back to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 folder.
6>Paste the OWSSUPP.DLL file from the Office11 folder to here, the Office12 folder.
7>Open a command prompt window with Start/Run/cmd.
8>Chance directory to the Office12 folder with CD "Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12".
9>Now using REGSVR32 OWSSUPP.DLL re-register the DLL file.

You will receive an error message of the owssupp.dll registration failed..Don Worry it has got registered...
Chill and try to edit your Office document on SharePoint. It should work without any headache.
