Freezes Up Application

Ohio5 · Jan 10, 2005

When opening Powerpoint 97 the application freezes up and
requires a reboot. Are there viruses or any known
problems with this? What are the possible solutions to
resolve this issue. It has also happened with PowerPoint
2000.

Thanks

TAJ Simmons,
Thank you that worked. It must be like a template error
like one associated with Excel.

Thanks for your help.
