Before opening PowerPoint, do a ctrl-alt-delete and see if it's listed under
applications in Task Manager. If it is, that's the issue. If you try to
open PowerPoint and it has already been loaded into memory, it will close.
If that is the case, something on your setup is loading PowerPoint unless
this is happening after looking at a presentation in which case, if you
closed it, it's not removing itself from memory.
Thanks - Heading off to try this or your knowledge base fixes

All of my other office products open and run great. The
fixes were not from the G5 what ever #'s of my
installation CD. Any other ideas - I have reinstalled and
that made no difference. Checked knowledge base. windows
update referred to SR1 and I had SP1 installed, so.....
Go to the following link, scroll the list on the left to powerpoint, select
it and try your question there and be sure to let them know what you have
already done and which version of PowerPoint: http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp
