CAUSE

This issue can occur when one of the following conditions is true:

  • Microsoft Graph is not installed.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, follow these steps in the order presented.

Determine Whether Microsoft Graph Is Installed

  1. Quit all programs that are running.

  3. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. In the list of installed programs, click Microsoft Office 2000, and then click Add/Remove (click Change on Microsoft Windows 2000-based computers). If you installed Microsoft Office from a CD, you are prompted to insert the CD.
  4. In the Microsoft Office 2000 Maintenance Mode dialog box, click Add or Remove Features.
  5. Expand Office Tools (click the plus sign next to the Office Tools icon). Microsoft Graph is not installed if you see a red cross next to the words "Microsoft Graph".
  6. Proceed to one of the two following methods, "Install Microsoft Graph" or "Repair Your Installation of Microsoft Graph," as appropriate.

Install Microsoft Graph

If Microsoft Graph is not already installed on your computer, follow these steps:

  7. Click Update Now.

    Setup installs Microsoft Graph 2000.

Repair Your Installation of Microsoft Graph

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
  2. Rename Graph9.exe to Graph9exe.old.
  3. Quit all programs that are running.
  4. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  5. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. In the list of installed programs, click Microsoft Office 2000, and then click Add/Remove (click Change on Microsoft Windows 2000-based computers). If you installed Microsoft Office from a CD, you are prompted to insert the CD.

I had the same problem when trying to copy bitmat graphics between forms, all that was needed was to install MS Picture Editor the same way as described above, in the same place. All problems were fixed after it has been installed.
