Cannot paste photos into any office product.

I was working on a powerpoint presentation and had already succesfully pasted
several photos into it. After receiving a "General Process Error" message I
had to close the program and download a patch from windows update -
apparently a bug with a previous update I installed. Following this, when
trying to paste photos into Powerpoint, Word or Excel, only a blank
placeholder appears with no picture in it. Also, the photos that were
previously pasted now appear dark and terrible. Older documents that have
photos pasted in them show fine, and the photos I'm attempting to paste
appear normal in Photoshop. Anyone seen this before?

In Word, click on Tools | Options | View | uncheck the "Picture
placeholders" box | OK. In Excel, click on Tools | Options |
View | uncheck the "Show placeholders" box | OK. See

dark when you insert it into PowerPoint 2003".

I can paste 8-bit TIFF's and JPEG's into Office programs, just not 16-bit
images. Not a big deal because the 16-bit images are too big anyway.

Thanks a lot for the help.
