Cannot Edit Charts in PPT2007

[Stan P]

Problem: I cannot edit Charts after they are created and save. When I click
on the Edit for the chart, task manager indicates the EXCEL.EXE task is
launched, but the worksheet does not appear. When creating a new presentation
and a new chart, everything works the way it should. After saving the
presentation, Its broken? This must be some sort of Registry setting, I've
re-installed Office 2007 Standard, run Diagnostics, all to no avail. The Same
saved presentation works properly on another PCs Powerpoint 2007 in the same
office.

Have you installed SP2 for Office 2007?

Yes, all updates are in place. Same effect.

Wow, I don't know, then. You might try reregistering OLE. Here's instrux:

Click Start, click Run, type the following command, and then click OK:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\ole32.dll
In the RegSvr32 dialog box, click OK.
Restart the computer.

Well, congrats on the wow, I guess OLE32.DLL got corructed somewhere along
the way. That seems to have done the trick. Thanks Echo for the hellp. I'll
stick this little nugget in my fixit bag for further retrieval. Thanks again
