PPT not responding

[D M Armstrong]

I have Microsoft office 2003 Student and Teacher edition. When I try to open
PPT to create a new presentation I am not able to click on anything. I have
the hour glass for a curser and when I do click on the screen it says that
the program is not responding. The other portions of the office are working
fine. What can I do?

I just tried to see if it would work and it is still not responding. I leave
my computer on all the time, but it is a personal computer and i only use the
internet and take classes on-line. I will turn it off for the night and try
again tomorrow. The powerpoint should work with the student teacher edition
though right? I should be able to create as well and view?!
Thanx for the help and will let you know how it goes tomorrow!

I left my computer turned off all night long and when I got everything
running this morning PPT was working fine. I should have tried that first.
I just get so impatient sometimes. Thank you for your help!!!

For future reference, you don't have to wait all night. Just do a system
Restart. Sometimes gremlins get inside the box. Restarting the machine kills
the gremlins.
