SYMPTOMS
========
In Microsoft PowerPoint, when you insert or click a Microsoft Excel object, you
may receive an error message similar to the following:
The source application is busy and can't respond immediately. You can switch
to the other application and try to resolve the problem.
CAUSE
=====
This problem may occur if the Microsoft Excel AutoSave add-in is loaded.
PowerPoint cannot create the object because Excel takes too much time to load
when the AutoSave add-in is selected.
NOTE: It is possible that other add-ins may also cause this problem.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.
Method 1: Remove the AutoSave Add-In
------------------------------------
To remove the add-in, follow these steps:
1. Start Microsoft Excel.
2. On the Tools menu, click Add-Ins.
3. Click to clear the AutoSave check box, and then click OK.
If you still receive the error message after trying method 1, try method 2.
Method 2: Start Microsoft Excel First
-------------------------------------
Start Excel first (before you start PowerPoint). Regardless of whether the
AutoSave add-in is loaded, you can insert or edit Microsoft Excel objects in
PowerPoint.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel for Windows 95,
version 7.0.
