Running Windows XP, Office 2007 , SP2.
::
:: After applying SP2, Every time I try to open for edit a PPT imbedded
Excel chart, PPT
:: locks up, reports error to MS , saves and restarts. No one in my
:: office can open these imbedded excel files without similar results
 
I just learned about this option. May be worth a try.

Open PowerPoint.

Choose Office Button | Open and navigate to the problem file.

The Open button has a little arrow beside it. Click the arrow and choose
Open and Repair.

Save the file.

Does that resolve it?

Oh, also try running Office Diagnostics. It's in Office Button | PPT Options
| Resources.
