I get this error after a default template was loaded. I have looked on
Microsoft.com and found the following article#813802. However it only
mentions that Microsoft has a fix, but does not mention where to download the
fix only to call Microsoft for assistance.

Would happen to know what the fix is or where it can be found?
 
I'd first check to see if you're getting the error only under these
circumstances (from the article in question):

"This symptom occurs when the Office Clipboard is open in either Microsoft Word
2000 or Microsoft Excel 2000 when you start PowerPoint 2000."

You'll need to check the site mentioned on the page to work out how to contact
MS to get the hotfix. As far as I know, they don't make these available for
general download.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;CNTACTMS

Haven't had the need for any of these hotfixes myself but I've heard that
they're pretty reasonable about not charging for the service if you've done
your homework and made sure that the hotfix is really the one you need. (So
I'd definitely beat up on that Office Clipboard thing before calling)
