ONENOTEM.exe System Error - Program can't start because .dll is missing.

Question

A lot of employees around the office are getting this system error at startup.  We can all still use OneNote, but this is definitely an annoyance at each login.  I haven't been able to find a fix for the issue. Does anyone have experience in solving this? Thanks!

Thanks for your response.  I should've mentioned in my post that I've already tried to do a repair and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office2013, but the problem still persists.
