"could not load an object..." on loading PPT

You might want to disable/uninstall all add-ins and see if that alleviates
the problem. If so, you can reinstall them one at a time as necessary. What
add-ins are loaded? http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00655.htm will help with that,
as many add-ins that affect PPT aren't obvious.

I would imagine a clean reinstall wouldn't hurt. It sounds as if you already
realize that a clean install won't necessarily clean out your registry,
though. :-)
I was successful in getting rid of the "could not load an object"
message on bootup, thanks to the reveal addins program you referenced.
I uninstalled PPTXtreme-edit and the message stopped. Now I'm
wondering if I should reinstall it.
Does anybody have any knowledge of this program?
Thanks again!

Well, I know it wasn't playing nicely with other add-ins on your PC. g

I like the Xtreme tools very very much, but I do often have to disable
SoftShadow. It's what Austin says -- it doesn't always play nicely with my
other add-ins.

Then again, I've had similar errors with other add-ins, too. I suspect it
has to do with the order they're loaded or something. One of the drawbacks
of running lots and lots of add-ins, you know....

PPT 2003
"Microsoft forms. Could not load an object because it is not present
on this machine."
I just started getting this message and can't find out what is the
cause or correction. I think it may be messing up my work. PPT seems
unduly burdened with memory problems since it started (I have 4GB
RAM). It's extremely slow.
The solutions proposed on websites, such as
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00749.htm
do not seem to apply to me, since they refer to a control for a
particular presentation, or at least I think they do. When I open a
presentation and hit ALT + f11, I do not see any VBA projects.
The only change I've made in the program is to install PFC Media Pro.
I had the less expensive version PFC MEdia, and both appear on the
toolbar, but PFC media does not work and causes a hangup when I try to
use it. The PFC Media support, usually excellent, is absent the last
couple of weeks. I hope he's not sick.
Any suggestions or references would be greatly appreciated.
I may uninstall PFC media Pro and see what happens.

Thanks to all for replies and help.
