This document refers to a problem when Powerpoint closes. The writer, and I,
encounter this problem when Powerpoint launches. Any ideas in this case?

What version of PowerPoint, what version of Windows, and are all updates
installed for both?

I am running Powerpoint 2002 on Windows 2000. I am not sure about the status
of updates.

I removed and then reinstalled office, and the problem persists -- powerpoint
will not launch and I get the message "powerpoint has encountered

a problem and needs to close"

I tried the process listed in the KB827319 but when I do this, the tool for
Visual Basic Editor is greyed out. I'm at a loss!
