Yes, here are the steps for running API diagnostics at any Bloomberg Terminal on campus:

1) Close Excel completely

2) From the Windows Start Menu, select All Programs > Bloomberg > API Environment Diagnostics. The API Environment Diagnostic tool appears.

3) Click the "Start" button. The diagnostic tool tests your add-in.

4) If any red icons appear click the "Repair" button. The diagnostic tool attempts to resolve the issues.

5) When the repair completes, re-open Excel.
