Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / August 2007Slide shows wont play Office 2004, will play Office X
Two machines a G4 dual 800 tower, and a G4 17" Powerbook. The tower running OS X.4.10, Office 2004 with all the latest updates. completely uninstalled and re-installed three days ago. The powerbook, running OS X.4.10 and Office X, latest updates. Same powerpoint presentation 1.1 MB file, received via email. In the tower, when launched, the file will lock up on the first screen (starts black, then a word comes spiraling in) there is a sound file which will not play in the tower. sometimes the screen remains black, other times the word will spiral in and then the tower freezes. Force quitting PowerPoint is our only option. In the Powerbook it works fine. In NeoOffice, on the tower it works fine. Any suggestions? After replacing the Application uninstaller and then reinstalling, I am puzzled... Here's a few things to try that I have seen in other post: - Does this happen with all presentations running slide show on the tower? Try a simple deck with no animations, transitions or sounds. - If problem specific to your file, try removing the animations or transitions on the first slide. - You can also try previewing the slides one at a time in slide sorter view. There are small icons at the bottom right of each slide thumbnail that let you play the animations and transitions one slide at a time. - If none of this works, you might want to try creating a new OS user and running PowerPoint in that user space. Sometimes prefs or other settings get corrupted, and a new OS user lets you create these from scratch without blowing away any important prefs you might need in the current user account. Good luck, and let us know how things work out. MM On Aug 13, 3:26 pm, mactechservi...@gmail.com wrote: > Two machines a G4 dual 800 tower, and a G4 17" Powerbook.
