Slideshow View will not open

[Guest]

I'm using Powerpoint 2003 SP3. When I try to view a slideshow it appears as
if nothing happens. The actual slide show opens a window because I can see
the process in task manager. And I can also see the slide show item on the
taskbar. But it will not let me actually view it. I tried saving the file as
a Powerpoint show, then creating a shortcut to it. I modified the shortcut to
open maximized and that was not the problem. I completely uninstalled Office
and ran the Installer Cleanup Utility. Then installed a clean copy of office
and the problem persists.

Thanks in advance!!!

Select "Slide Show" | "Set Up Show..." menu item and ensure that "Primary
Monitor" is selected in "Display slide show on" box.

PowerShow - View multiple PowerPoint slide shows simultaneously

Thanks for your assistance. We looked at that option and it was already
selected. Same results.

Thats a surprize because you describe exactly what happens when it's ticked
to show on a second monitor. Is it all powerpoints?

Yes. Old files and newly created files.
