Sorry.

regsvr msstdfmt.dll
That should get you going.
Might need regsvr32

However, dropping the DLL into the Aurora directory did not solve the problem. The same error occurs when trying to access the 'System' screen. For some reason, after running Aurora with the DLL in the Aurora directory makes the IE menu look funny when you click 'File', 'Edit', etc. The problem goes away after a power off.
I am going to see if somebody at work can get me the DLL.
That's the correct .dll file, but Windows can be picky.

[edit: fixed]

The background color for sub-menu items has changed on IE and in game. It is more of a grey than a white. Easy to read, though.

I assume it's the same file but it might be worth doing a google search to be sure.For what it is worth, I scanned the zip and the extracted DLL with McAfee and McAfee did not find anything.
