"some controls can not be activated..." message

Hi

I know this has been posted on before but unfortunately the reply doesn't help me so I wondered if there were any other ideas out there.

My company creates PowerPoint presentations with swfs embedded. Just occasionally we come across a presentation that when you open, regardless of in which Windows/PowerPoint environment, you get the above error message, but all the swfs work and there are no problems with the presentation. Clearly this isn't a critical error but is off-putting to the end-user.

Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have any ideas about how to resolve it? We were thinking it might be to do with having 2 Flash movies of the same name/different names on one slide but haven't been able to prove this.

Many thanks
Claire

It could also the system has an older version of the Flash control.
