powerpoint 2003

I am using W2K. Everytime I open a pp slide show, it runs without sound and
crashes upon exit. I get the blue screen that says process has locked page
and dumping. Doesn't happen on my other computer with W2K and powerpoint
2002. This happens whether I save the file to open or open from the email.

sorry, wish it were that simple. I do not have version 11. Very annoying
problem.

ok, Steve, i did all my updates, which i really thought i had previously done
and thought automatic update would have done. i no longer get the blue screen
of death upon exiting a ppt presentation( at least for today and 10 ppt
presentations later that were downloaded from emails). howver i do not get
the sound. i know there is sound because i can download it completely on
another computer with windows vista. almost there, but not quite. where to go
from there?

if i do have access, i don't know where to look for the file. i just download
from the email link and save and then open in ppt2003. all i know is that
there is sound when downloaded and played in other computers. i also tried
opening it in realplayer, again, with no sound.

Also if you have RealPlayer installed on your system, 9 times out of 10 it
changes the MCI settings so that PowerPoint cannot play sounds
