Cursor Freezeup

[Len Matlaw]

I have Power Point 2000. When I exit Power Point or Power
Point Viewer after watching a presentation, the cursor
freezes and I have to restart the computer.

This only happens with Power Point and no other Office
programs. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if
so, do you know of a fix for it?

I've not seen this one -- well, I've had it happen occasionally, but never consistently.

I know I suggest this a lot, but it really does fix a myriad of problems. Try changing your hardware acceleration. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00129.htm has instructions.

If that doesn't work, please post back to this thread and we'll try something else.

Thanks,

That solution seems to work. I had to move the graphics
acceleration speed over 2 positions to the left. Moving it
one position still left some problems, though less severe
than using full acceleration.

A great tip from the archives of Windows arcane and
mysterious behavior. I was going nuts trying to figure
this one out.

My thanks again.

Thanks for letting us know, Len. I've been taking some flack here in the newsgroup lately it seems for suggesting changing hardware acceleration. Thing is, it does fix so many display oddities and it's such a simple thing to try...

Have you tried changing your hardware acceleration? That might cut back on the
flack ...? ;-)
