However one of the Windows updates killed this fix. I tried a few things but no go.

This is the original post in case somebody is searching:
I thought I'd share this because I couldn't find any solution on the net. A user got this error trying to import .tag file into Powerpoint. It worked on couple of other PCs. Short research and a bit of luck and here is the solution for this particular problem, but would work probably for similar issues. Create tga_import.reg from this:
