I'm getting (2002) on PowerPoint a lot of 'Problem'
screens ending the program to 'Not Responding.' Occurs
apparently when doing a lot of art work. However, crashes
with only 400KB, but also 15MB. I open in safe mode which
allows me to make changes, like reducing amount of slides
having artwork. I send these presentations to other (WEB)
machines via email. They play on those PowerPoints OK.
No 'problem signs."
 
Jesse,

Have you installed anything else recently? Maybe this will help as it
details safe mode:

PowerPoint won't start

When you open in safe mode, is that for PowerPoint 2002 or Windows? Have you
tried Detect and Repair from the help menu when in safe mode? Do you have a
default printer installed locally and not on a network? PowerPoint can look
for a local printer when doing certain things. You need to have a dummy one
installed locally if you run on a network. Could it be a conflict of video
drivers. Else, are you copying and pasting the art work out of some other
program? It might be Object Embedding problems.

Embedding sounds right. As I added some clip art trees
from office's gallery, the thing started crashing. I made
a lot of breakouts from the presentations and only a few
of the trees worked anymore. I went back to a long
presentation (100 slides) with tons of art work. No
problem. I saw a discussion of this with reference to an
update or something, but I thought that fix was only for
2003, and I'm of course 2002. I believe I'm going to go
to 2003 shortly to get the auto viewer passed on to the
CD. Another subject. I'd like to try this embedded
problem fix if you can show me where to go and tell me
what to do.
