error on the server when trying to run PowerPoint from asp.net cod

I have an application in asp.net where from code I open a powerpoint
presentation and save it to html. It is working well when running on my
computer (after editing in the DCOM locally) but when I deployed to the
server(and changed in the DCOM as I did locally) I got this error Message
below:
Which settings on the server should I edit? Thanks

Most likely a COM error as the Office components are not deployed. Ensure the
Office library is deployed on the server (not normal) or move to a third
party component (even better) for the creation of your HTML Powerpoint.

This error is driving me nuts. The code below will run perfectly when it has a breakpoint. But as soon as I remove the breakpoint and run it normally outside of debug mode I get a strange error message that says: "Microsoft Office PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost."

Hi All, I am trying to build a webservice which would create a powerpoint presentation and save it to the file system. I am using the Powerpoint COM object for this purpose. The standalone windows application runs fine, but when I create a webservice on the same line i get a "Access denied error". This error occurs when the application is trying to create a Powerpoint.ApplicationClass. Does anyone have any ideas?
