I run Win 7 32bit with PowerPoint 2007. For the first time ever, there was no administrative install in the context menu and "Run as administrator" under Properties was grayed out. So I chose your suggestion to run an elevated C prompt window, but that didn't work either. Initially, I ran both regsvr cmd's in an elevated C prompt with success, but they were "successful" just run from the "Run" line. I also rebooted along the line to clear any memory problems that might have been there. I am so disappointed because I will miss out on a free copy of iSpring Presenter from giveawayoftheday.com. I've been working for 5 hours on this problem and your solution held out the most hope. I don't know why it didn't work.
