[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -

Hello,
| The error just says that Microsoft Powerpoint has encountered a problem
and
| needs to close. It then gives an option to send an error report to
Microsoft.
| It is not specific what so ever.
However, there is VERY SPECIFIC information in the report that can be used
to determine the root cause of the problem and, perhaps, even a solution.
But it's important that reports get sent to Microsoft so that we know which
ones to investigate (the ones that get reported most frequently usually
win).
When the crash occurs a crash reporting dialog will appear with a message
that begins something like: "Microsoft Office <application> has encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." do the
following:
1) Click on "What data does this report contain?
2) Note down the following information:
* AppName:
* AppVer:
* AppStamp:
* ModName:
* ModVer:
* ModStamp:
* fDebug:
* Offset:
3) There might also be a "bucket" number. If so, note down that number as
well.
3) Click "Close"
4) Click "Send Error Report" .... PLEASE!!!
If you post the information noted in steps 2 and 3 above to this newsgroup
I might be able to verify whether or not this is already a known issue and,
if it's known, possibly a way to avoid or fix the problem in the future.
