Powerpoint has suddenly started crashing when adding pics or savin

[ron_2404]

I have 'repaired office' 3 times and restarted winXP each time, but it
continues to do this and has become unusable. Any suggestions?

Sorry, done that, but still the same problem. I have narrowed it down to
inserting pictures via the 'Insert Picture' button. It handles smaller
pictures, but not larger ones (it used to do this last week). It's not a
memory problem - I have 1GB with 700MB free. I have discovered that if I use
cut & paste in Explorer I can put the picture in.

Thanks for the help. Done that too - images will import into Word, Excel,
other apps. The problem seems to be with Powerpoint. The image gets to the
page (I can see it in the window) then I get the message that 'Powerpoint has
to close'. I've re-installed Office (uninstalled/re-installed), it had the
same problem, I updated office with SP3 and the other updates - problem has
not gone away.

Sorry - went all the way back and it still crashed.

Weird one here. Have you installed any new programmes lately? Perhaps you can
try re-installing PowerPoint, no guarantee though. If it still doesn't work,
stick to Steve's suggestion.
