At home, try going to the Help menu and choosing Check for Updates. There
is a good chance that you have not installed the latest service packs at
home. If that doesn't help, let us know and we'll try some other
possibilities.

You can check which service pack is installed by going to Help > About
Microsoft Office Powerpoint

After Microsoft Powerpoint 2003 and the version number it should say SP2
(service pack 2) If it doesn't you should update by going to help > check for
updates
