[texpoint-users] TexPoint Bar disappears under PowerPoint 2007

Hi,

I'm facing exactly the same problem as Jordi.
Every time any TexPoint command is used, all Command-Groups except the 
"General" one disappear.
They are reactivated only after I quit PowerPoint and start it again.
The commands themselves work as expected.
It is really annoying to restart PowerPoint each time TexPoint was used.
At the moment I'm using TexPoint within the trial period. Is this 
possibly an intended behavior for the trial version?
Is there any solution to this problem?

Configuration Information is shown below.
I'm aware, that ImageMagick and gnuplot is not installed.

Thank you
Wolfi
