PPT2003 Loop crashes PPT2002

[jimcoughlan]

I have created a looping 40 slide presentation in PPT2003. Every time I
attempt to open it onto a machine (I've tried 5 different systems)
PowerPoint immediately displays an error message and has to be
re-started. It is a largeish file (28mb). Should I be ecountering such
a severe backwards compatibility issue?
Any help really appreciated.

Steve,

thanks for the reply. The file was created in Office XP with PPT2003.
All service packs installed, software fully up to date. I've tried
playing it back on machines with Windows 2000 Office/ 2002. Windows XP
/ Office 2003. Windows XP, Office 2003. It will only not cause the
crash on the WinXP/Office2003 machines. It crashes on all others.
Problem I have is that the host machines running PPT2002 are hired in
for an event I'm on and have no internet connectivity for downloads.
The error message contains the folllowing:
Exception Information
Code: 0x00000f98 Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x00000000c0000005 Address: 0x000000000000000
Don't know if this is helpful but it's such a repeatable crash; every
PPT2002 machine, every time that I hope there's a fix of some sort.

Many thanks,
Jim
