When i open PowerPoint in Office XP SP3, i get "active x component can't
create object.."  I click O.K. and the error window goes away and you can
start using PowerPoint with no issues. I've tried doing a repair, but no luck.

Anyone got any ideas??

thanks

The URL listed goes to  M.S developers site about automatically updating
active X. It looks to be more for programmers, not general users.

thanks for your time.
