MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Every time I open PowerPoint, I get a "set profile first" error
There is nothing in the program help or online about this frustrating dialog. > There is nothing in the program help or online about this frustrating > dialog. Do you have any add-ins installed?

Sept 17-20, 2006 http://www.pptlive.com PowerPoint (Office 2003) was working fine. Then I replaced a 40GB hard drive with a 300GB drive and installed a new copy of Windows XP Pro. After I reinstalled Office, I get this stupid message -- it comes up for every single presentation I open. > > There is nothing in the program help or online about this frustrating > > dialog. > > Do you have any add-ins installed? Wow, not a clue. I've never seen anything like that. And I can't find anything online, either. Is that the exact phrase shown in the message box?

I posted the exact message (screen dump) at http://www.heavenr.com/test/set.jpg -- sadly, it does not have a dialog ID or any sort of tracking indice. Thanks for following up. > Wow, not a clue.

Sounds as though you have I-One's color mathing software installed. Try setting a profile as it's asking you to do. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, I could kiss you! I've been digging through everything I know about PowerPoint, trying to fathom the error. You solved it in 20 words. My daughter does, indeed, have the I-One software installed -- she's a second-year photography student at the Art Institute of Seattle ... went cookoo about having a great big 300GB drive available for Photoshop ... and you guessed the rest. Thanks ever so much.

A kind of educated guess. I had a hand in writing the add-in. ,-) Glad that was the answer! > Thanks ever so much. > Michael [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > A kind of educated guess. I had a hand in writing the add-in. ,-) ROFL! So is it a PPT add-in specifically, or is it a program that has a PPT add-in option (like Adobe Acrobat)? I need to figure out a better way to ask about add-ins, because that was my first thought, but original poster Michael said no add-ins -- or at least I thought that's what he was saying (although when I re-read the response, I see that wasn't really the case).
