Deleted [Embedding] Section Gives Bad Locate File Dialog Box PSS ID Number: Q68792 Article last modified on 10-29-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

2.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

If the [Embedding] section in the WIN.INI file is deleted while PowerPoint is open, you will get a bad Locate File dialog box when you choose Insert Graph from the File menu. The dialog box message informs you that PowerPoint cannot find the file “A|!” instead of the file PPTGraph.EXE.

More Information:

The Insert Graph command may work initially, but you will eventually get the bad Locate File dialog box.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
