PowerPoint couldn't load the add-in .

When ever I start up PPT 2007, I get an error message "PowerPoint couldn't
load the add-in ." Is there any way to stop this from happening???

Go to Office Button | PPT Options | Add-ins. What add-ins are listed there?

Do you have an old add-in from previous PPT-versions still installed? Maybe
some software for your scanner or a PDF-converter? Look for files with the
extension ppa and delete them or move them to some place where Powerpoint
2007 will not find them.

After upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2007 I see the popup twice. When I
go to the Add-in as you suggest I see four groups and suspect that I should
focus on the "Inactive Applications Add-in" section. Here I see three entries
that have nothing in the "Location" column. (JWPACK2, OfficeReady 3.0 and
OfficeReady 3.0 Start). I've removed the Add-ins and now I only see one popup
telling me that the addin could not be loaded.

I just again checked the Add-ins and still see the two OfficeReady add-ins
are still there and attempts to remove them fail. How do I remove them?

I have no idea. I don't know what "OfficeReady" is.

I googled OfficeReady 3.0 and found this:
http://www.download.com/OfficeReady-...-10188410.html
I'd probably contact the add-in publishers.

You might look in Windows Control Panel and see if you can uninstall this in
the Add-Remove Programs section.

OK, sounds like you're on the right track and halfway home.

You may need to contact OfficeReady for tech support on this one. There are
several ways of installing and uninstalling add-ins; they'll know best how to
deal with their own.

One thing you could also try is installing the add-in again. When you upgrade
to Office 2007 from earlier versions, the installer tries to "migrate" any
installed add-ins in PPT. Generally it does a pretty good job. Sometimes it
makes noseprints on the sidewalk though. Sounds like this is one of those. In
some cases, reinstalling sorts it all out.

I found the same info on Google.
There is nothing in Add/Remove Pgms for OfficeReady.
I've totally rebuilt my system at least two times in the past three years
and during those rebuilds I did not install OfficeReady thus I assume that I
installed it prior to one of those builds and it was a carry over from the
settings I transfered to the new build. I've used the transfer settings
function for several years to pick up al of my custom stuff. The downside is
that some of the stuff I've tested is included in the transfer but not
actually installed. Office 2003 did not flag these things but Office 2007
does but Office 2007 does not make it easy to remove what is now junk but it
does complain about it.

Later as time permits I may install a trial of OfficeReady (current version)
and then uninstall it. Possibly this will clean up the issue if not I'll try
to contact the OfficeReady support.

That may be all it takes.

It's the Windows Way: We have to install this software before we can nuke it.

Nutso, but it really is true.
