PowerPoint is crashing & asking for Microsoft agent 2.0 or later

[Larry]

I have a Dell, Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4CPU 2.00 GHz 1.99 GHz 512 MB of RAM,
running Microsoft Windows XP home edition version 2002 service pack 2 that I
just loaded Microsoft Office xp professional on. In trying to use the
PowerPoint. I am able to make the slides and even run them once as a slide
show but after it runs once I get a blank screen that comes up with a bubble
that says the office assistant requires Microsoft agent 2.0 or later. I am
looking to find this download or what to do to fix this problem.

If you are running Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or any later version of Windows, then you already
have Microsoft Agent 2.0 pre-installed.
