Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs
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. Ernie "Ernie Wong" wrote: garfield-n-odie, 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? Ernie "garfield-n-odie" wrote: 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. Ernie Wong wrote: 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 Ernie "garfield-n-odie" wrote: 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. Ernie Wong wrote: 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." Ernie "garfield-n-odie" wrote: 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. Ernie Wong wrote: Echo S 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 "Ernie Wong" wrote: 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 "Echo S" wrote: 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.

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. Ernie "Echo S" wrote: 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. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Ernie Wong" wrote in message ...

Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs
Steve,
When you sent the test file back to me, there was a macro on it. What was it for? Ernie "Steve Rindsberg" wrote: Other than Echo's suggestion (calling MS) you might also want to recreate the graphs and keep the presentation exclusively on one platform or the other to see if the problem repeats itself. In article , Ernie Wong wrote: Steve and Echo S, Unfortunately, when I tried the round tripping on the complete file, I was not able to get rid of the error. I tried the round tripping technique with PowerPoint 2000, PowerPoint 2003, and PowerPoint 2004 for Mac. In all cases, when I opened the file in PowerPoint 2003, I still could not edit some of the graphs. Ernie "Echo S" wrote: "Steve Rindsberg" wrote in message ... Ernie sent me a test file, I couldn't sort out anything obviously wrong with it but roundtripped it and sent it back; now it works ok. Great minds....

This may sound like a no brainer, but from experience, I can say, Verify MS
