garfield-n-odie,

I went back in to Norton AntiVirus to enable the Office plug-in. Then I ran
the regsvr32 /u command again. This time I was successful. I guess because
the Norton AntiVirus software had already disabled the officeav.dll, it could
not disable it twice.

The bad news is the problem with the graphs still persists.

I tried to unregister officeav.dll again. This time, I got the following
message:

DllUnregisterServer in C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton
Antivirus\officeav.dll failed. Returned code: 0x8002801c

Do you know what that means?

Because there are spaces in the pathname, you need to include the
quotation marks:

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton
AntiVirus\officeav.dll"

In your post, the closing quote mark looks like some sort of
extended ascii or unicode character that the Run command might
not recognize as a closing quote mark. If you're copying and
pasting the command into the Run box, then manually delete the
quotation marks and retype them.

garfield-n-odie,

I tried it both ways, with the quotation marks as shown in
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00387.htm and without. The run statements
I tried a

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton
AntiVirus\officeav.dll” and regsvr32 /u C:\Program Files\Norton
SystemWorks\Norton AntiVirus\officeav.dll

Sounds like you're putting quotation marks someplace where they
don't belong in the Run command. Please quote the exact command
you're typing, and maybe we can get this sorted out. The
problems you're citing are classic symptoms of the Norton
Antivirus Office Plugin, and disabling the plugin usually solves
the problem.

garfield-n-odie,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it with the actual path and I got the
message, "LoadLibrary(C:\Program") failed. The specify module cannot be
found."

In the Run window, type:

regsvr32 /u C:\Norton AntiVirus directory\officeav.dll

but replace "Norton AntiVirus directory" with the actual path to
your Norton AntiVirus directory.

I tried to disable the Norton AntiVirus plug-in using the Start|Run mode. I
searched for officeav.dll. I found it in the Norton AntiVirus directory. I
entered the following in the Run window: regsvr32 /u “\officeav.dll” The
computer responded with the following message: LoadLibrary (“\officeav.dll”)
failed. The specify module cannot be found.

I also re-registered MS Graph.

The problem still persists.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Ernie

Echo S,

I disable the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in via the software interface. I
will give the Start|Run approach a try.

Thanks,

Ernie

Did you disable the DLL via Start|Run, or did you just turn it off in the
software itself? I'd recommend turning it off and then disabling the DLL via
Start|Run, just to make sure.

Norton Anti-Virus and Office http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00387.htm
has instrux.

Echo S,

Thanks for the suggestions. I have already disabled the Norton AntiVirus
Office plug-in. I will reregister MS Graph next. All of the graphs on this
presentation were generated with MS Graph. I can edit some of graphs and
some of the graphs are even on the same slides.

No, I don't. But I'd probably start with disabling the Norton AntiVirus
Office plug-in, if you use Norton/Symantec, and reregistering MS Graph.
Those are easy things to do, and they don't take a whole lot of effort or
mess anything up on the system.

Do you know why only some of the graphs would have this error?

When I tried to edit a graph in PowerPoint 2003, I get the

following



message,
"The server application, source file, or item can't be found or

return



an



unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server application."

Note,



this does not happen on all the graphs, just some of them. Also,

these



graphs can edit in other versions of PowerPoint.

Any ideas?
