OLE server error in form

Using Access 2003, when attempting to add a browser-class object to a form,
it returns the following error:

OLE server not registered
To register the OLE server, reinstall it

From other threads I've found that refer to that error, I understand that
separate apps are used as the OLE server for different ActiveX functions, and
sometimes applications that shouldn't do so steal the assignment. When I look
under the Tools\ActiveX Controls menu, the browser class control is currently
tied to an obsolete (and long ago uninstalled) AOL minibrowser used by AIM.
Since it is uninstalled, Office can't unregister it, and I don't know what to
do at this point.

I need to assign a current and valid app as the browser class control, any
help out there?
