Themes online operation canceled?

[GeoBrooks]

I'm teaching Excel 2007 this semester, my first adventure with this version.
In practice before class I clicked on Themes, More Themes on Microsoft
Online... and got the error "This operation has been canceled due to
restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator." I'm my system administrator and I do not know how to resolve
this.

The same error appears when attempting to perform the same function in Word,
so it's not an Excel or Word error. Or is it?

Excel is licensed (as of today), OS =XP sp 3.

Please advise.

Thanks.

I've found this

and followed the suggestion and it now appears to work. An error was
thrown, and a report sent to MS. A second attempt worked. Judgment is
withheld.
