To see if COM add-ins are loaded you need to do more.
1. Tools | Customize...
2. Switch to the Commands tab.
3. Under Catergories, select Tools.
4. Locate COM add-ins from the list adjacent list of commands.
5. Drag the COM-add-ins from the list to any appropriate toolbar.
6. Close the customize dialog
7. Click on the new COM add-ins button to launch the window.
Do you see any COM add-ins listed?

In fact, every copy of PPT 2003 has at least some add-ins. They're just not
visible. Try this and let us know what it reports:
What add-ins are loaded?
