I have been working on a PP presentation for weeks. Today I can't open it. It starts to open and then freezes. When I do control, alt, delete it says program not responding. I can open other presentations just not the one I need. I am using PP in Microsoft Office 2000 and my computer is using Windows 98. Can anyone help me? Thanks
 
This doesn't sound good. See if the information below helps:

When you have a chance, please take a look at Sequential Save at
http://www.mvps.org/skp/seqsave.htm. It's a free add-in for PowerPoint and
will protect you in the future.

Thanks very much Sonia. I tried everything on the page you sent, nothing worked. Eventually I saved it on a CD and tried it on another computer and it worked fine. I don't know why it won't work on this computer when other presentations work fine. But at least I have it back

Again thank you very much.
 
What version of PowerPoint is on the system where you were able to open it?
And what version of Windows is on that system?

and 3/4 of the way through the program I had the same
problem. When I did the control alt delete it said not
responding but i canceled and just left it. I came back to
mycomputer about 15 minutes later and it had opened! This
occurred everytime I opened it and it always ended up
opening. Hope this helps.
