syedasaima , check to see if the add-in has been disabled. Go to Excel Options and select Add-ins on the left hand side. At the bottom there's a dropdown to manage disabled add-ins. Hope this works.

- Go to Excel Options => Add-Ins and select "Manage" Excel Add-Ins below and press "Go". There you can see whether the Solver add-in is activated.
Deactivate solver add-in => restart Excel.
Macro button should work again and the solver add-in can be reactivated.
If it doesn't help, then go through the other links / answers again.
