In powerpoint 2007 I am trying to insert an Excel workbook ( or basically
anything). I get :The server application, source file, or item can't be
found, or returned an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server
application.

It asks me if I want to repair and I do which does nothing. Any help is
appreciated.

Dear Intel,

This page, amongst many within the powerpoint 'frequently asked questions'
pages is just for you my friend...

Can't edit Org Chart, Graph, Excel (error msg: "server application, source
file, or item can't be found")

Thanks but I have seen that before. I should NOT need it as no other machine
who gets MS OFFICE is getting that file. It has got to be something else.

I am not saying it cant be any. What I am saying is we deploy office 2007
though Active Dir. No one else has an issue with this. I thought it was
SnagIt software but I removed it and even removed office and reinstalled it
and it still doesn't work.
Policy does not let me install this (I just consult).
