I'd start by lowering hardware acceleration.

Thanks. Tried taking Acceleration back to none and still

can't run slideshow
Ok, thanks for trying that.
I'd next try booting into Safe Mode and see if PPT will run the slide show
then. It may look ugly, but it's a good test to see if you're experiencing a
problem with video drivers. If the presentation runs in Windows Safe Mode,
then try updating your video card drivers.
You can also start PPT itself in Safe Mode by holding down the CTRL button
on your keyboard while opening PPT from your Start/Programs menu or by
finding POWERPNT.EXE and holding down the CTRL button while double-clicking
it. Does your slide show run then?
I'd also do some basic disk maintenance. Had a coworker today whose PPT
files keep crashing in slide show mode. Looked at his Temporary Internet
Files folder, and there's a gig of stuff in there. I suspect it's causing
him problems, so his assignment for the afternoon was to empty that folder.
You might want to check your Temporary Internet Files folder and delete any
files in it.
Also search your hard drive for *.TMP file and delete those. Then run a scan
disk and a defrag.
Oh, I should also ask if PPT is crashing on all files in slide show mode, or
just on one specific file? Finally, what did you mean when you said, "I
can...run slides individually"?

Hi Kathy, Mike and Echo S,
I am having the same problems. I have tried all that has been suggested and
still have had no luck. Did you find a solution to the problem? Can you
help me?
Thanks

What happens if you create a brand new one slide show? Make it very simple
(just some text.) Run that. Save it, open it and run it again. Does it work?

Roca4444 said:Hi all,
Having the same problem. I think it has something to do with lock keyboard
while showing a presentation. I mean I remember I did something to "lock the
keyboard", but don't know now how to get to untick the option.
Any help?
