ap._getactive not working anymore

[artuur9]

No, the 32-bit version of office 2013 is installed (on a 64-bit laptop).   

I did try repairing office. 

Chatgpt also suggested adding these registry keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\PowerPoint.Application
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\PowerPoint.Application.15
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{91493441-5A91-11CF-8700-00AA0060263B}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\TypeLib\{91493440-5A91-11CF-8700-00AA0060263B}


with this reg file:
