SYMPTOMS

If you run a Microsoft Office for Windows 95 program, such as PowerPoint, and you attempt to insert clip art while logged on to a Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 computer as a normal user, the following ClipArt Gallery error message may appear:

   registry. You are currently logged onto this machine as a
   guest, which does not allow this access. Log on as a user or
   administrator to use the ClipArt Gallery.

You then receive the following Microsoft PowerPoint error message:

   The server application, source file, or item cannot be found.
   You should reinstall the server application.
