Clip Art and Help Problems

[Bill Haskell]

After working for years, Clip art use has become inoperative in all my 2002 Office programs (Word, Publisher, and PowerPoint)

The following message appears when clip art use is invoked:

Clip organizer cannot complete the operation. Class not registered. Error code 0x80040154


A second problem occurred at about the same time. HELP has become inoperative also. When the help window is employed, instead of a cursor, a double ended yellow horizontal arrow appears and will not allow the use of any help processes.

Thanks for any help in fixing these problems.
