Using 2.1.6, the file output had those lines-and-circle guide thingys on the top corners of the document, so I decided to try out 2.2.1. I am getting the same error, copy/pasted as follows:
Code:

A quick googling of that HRESULT value turned up this thread:

It made sense to me that perhaps I was missing some .DLLs from some obscure runtime package, so I went ahead and got vcredist_x86.exe, which did not solve the problem. Next I downloaded and installed Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Visual C# 2005 Express in the hopes that the debug .DLLs would solve it. They also did not.
I will try some additional steps, and a different PC altogether this weekend, and try to supply as much pertinent info as possible.
This PC is running a week-old install of WinXP SP2, all updates installed.
