Power Point and Clip Art

[Guest]

Hi
I have installed Office 2000 Small Business Edition to Windows XP Pro w/SP1. I then purchased Powerpoint 2000 upgrade and installed it. Everything worked great but when I tried to insert a clip art i get the error

Microsoft Powerpoint can't display clip art
This feature is not available. To make this feature available, please run setup again, select "add or remove features" and change the feature to "run from my computer" or " run from cd/network"

I uninstalled powerpoint and reinstalled it and select everything to run from my computer and still I get that error message
Did someone have this problem and solved it? Any help is appreciated. Thank

Jason

The Clip Gallery will probably be installed with Office rather than with
PPT. The process is the same, though. So try putting your Office CDs in,
doing a custom install (or add/remove programs), and look for Clip
Art/Clip Gallery. Set that to "run from my computer."

Hi Echo S
I did exactly what you said but the problems still exists. I tried accessing clip arts from word and it works fine. There might be some files missing or files that didnt get changed during the powerpoint install
I will keep on looking but thank you for responding...

You know, something you said earlier might make a difference --

I have installed Office 2000 Small Business Edition to Windows XP Pro
w/SP1.
I then purchased Powerpoint 2000 upgrade and installed it.

I may be wrong, but I believe that you cannot use a PPT 2000 upgrade to add
PPT to Office 2000 SBE (small business edition), but you can use a PPT 2002
Upgrade to add PPT to Office 2000 SBE. (It's been awhile, so I can't
remember for sure.)

Anyway, is there a chance you have PPT 2002 rather than PPT 2000? (If you go
to Help/About in PPT, it will tell you for sure.)

Hi Echo
Its Powerpoint 2000 upgrade, it allow you to install it if you have certain requirements and Small Business edition was one of them. Its weird that it work for 90% of the machines I installed on but just one or two has this problem. I will try to uninstall everything and reinstall it. But I dont think that is a good solution. At this point, what do I have to lose. Thanks again Echo. I will keep you posted.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Since it seems you have a bunch of machines, and only a few with this issue,
I wonder if there's a permissions thing happening. I'll see what I can find
out for you.
