How do I fix "Media Catalog Object has encountered an error" ?

[lpilker]

When I try to insert clip art in any Office program, i get the following
error: "Media Catalog Object has encountered an error and needs to close."

What version Office do you use? Open the Organizer from Start, Microsoft Office
Tools. When the Organizer opens, tools, compact

If that doesn't help your Mstore10.mgc maybe be damaged.
Find Mstore10.mgc and change it to Mstore10.old. The Organizer will create the
catalog anew next time you use it. (You will lose all your custom keywords)

The file is in a folder similar to this: (hidden)
WindowsXP
C:\Documents and Settings\<<user name>>\Application Date\Microsoft\Clip
Organizer
Vista
C:\Users\<<user>>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Clip Organizer
