Office XP Clip Art error

[Dudley]

I recently upgraded my OS from XP home to XP
professional. Now when I attempt to insert clip art into
any document, I receive the following message.
"Clip Organizer cannot complete the operation. Specified
procedure could not be found. Error code 0x8007007F."

I cannot find any clips on my pc, and the clip organizer
will not load up. The error code is not listed anywhere
on the Microsoft site. Can anyone help with this?

Hi Dudley,

This is the fix although you can probably exchange the oledb32.dll
with an older version.

Many times this error will be solved with a MDAC 2.8 refresh:

PART A
------
-download and run Component Checker "Comcheck.exe"
(download was cc.exe, expanded into c:\comcheck\... with over 470 files).
-find it at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8f0a8df6-4a21-4b43-
bf53-14332ef092c9&DisplayLang=en

-ran in on MDAC 2.7 SP1 (WinXP) and found oledb32.dll was 2.71.9031.4, not
the expected version 2.71.9030.0...



PART B
------
-Find the correct version of oledb32.dll. Download both MDAC2.7RTM and
MDAC2.7SP1 (they're both named mdac_typ.exe).

MDAC downloads
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/default.asp?contentid
=28001860

-Extract the files from each MDAC to separate directories without kicking
off an install (example:
mdac_typ /c /t:C:\MDAC2.7SP1).

-look for mdaccxpak.cab in that directory, open it using explorer, and
extract oledb32.dll to the same directory as the cab.

-right-click on the extracted oledb32.dll, again using explorer, then
navigate to the "version" tab to see if it's the "expected" version (in my
case, 2.71.9030.0 was the correct one, and it came out of the MDAC 2.7 SP1
version)


Please let me know has this helped...

Thank you...
