error when opening PowerPoint

[Newbie123]

When i open PowerPoint in Office XP SP3, i get "active x component can't
create object.." I click O.K. and the error window goes away and you can
start using PowerPoint with no issues. I've tried doing a repair, but no luck.

Anyone got any ideas??

thanks

Go here to see how to update your ActiveX http://tinyurl.com/nz9mv

The URL listed goes to M.S developers site about automatically updating
active X. It looks to be more for programmers, not general users.

thanks for your time.
