Help: "Can't Launch OLE Server"

[Michael Beurskens]

Artgalry has nothing to do with this - it's for the Clipart-gallery. If
you have an @ in your PC-name, like x@work, this is one reason for this,
otherwise try reinstalling Wordart.

Same problem here. How does one go about reinstalling Wordart?

Well, go to Programs\Shared Files\Microsoft Shared\Wordart. Delete all
files in that dir. Now go to Control Panel\Software and doubleclick on
"Microsoft-Publisher" in the list. Now select Reinstall.

Thanks for the suggestion. However, it did not work. Am getting the
same "cannot launch or communicate with OLE Server...." error.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated!
