List does not display in Datasheet view

When you open a List, it won't open in Datasheet view.

Category: SharePoint 2010

You see the following error message:

The list is displayed in Standard view. It cannot be displayed in Datasheet view for one or more of the following reasons: A datasheet component compatible with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation is not installed, your browser does not support ActiveX controls, a component is not properly configured for 32-bit or 64-bit support, or support for ActiveX controls is disabled.

To solve this problem simply download and install the following on the user PC:

2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components which can be found at the link below.
