For some unknown reason, I am having troubles inserting clipart, off of the web, into a Word document. I can insert from my files on my computer but when I download a file from MS web site an error message will come back saying there is a catastrophic failure with an error code 0x8000FFFF.

I have tried to seach MS web site to no avail. Have reinstalled Office, still no good.

Has anyone seen or heard of this relatively minor inconvenience?

Thanks,

Dan

Try clearing your temp folders:

Please delete your temporary files. Double Click My Computer (WinXP: Navigate to Start --->My Computer)
You will see an icon representing your harddrive (most likely C: Drive) Right Click on the hard drive icon and click Properties at the
bottom of the fly out window. One the very first tab (General) you will see a button labeled "Disk Cleanup"...click that button.
Make sure the following are checked:
Downloaded Program Files
Temporary Internet Files and
Recycle Bin
Click OK and Disk Cleanup will delete those files for you.

Clean up computer. Still no better.

Was checking other clips from MS. Can download seemingly all but this one particular clip. It is a photo that is 3149KB in size. I can download other photos. Would the size have any thing to do with it?

I was able to download the clip from my home PC? Any quick thoughts are appreciated. Not major and I might just forget for now.

Thanks,

Might just be a problem with the clip. Usually these errors are caused by a full temp folder.
