Slide show will not advance

[Lee Moss]

Any attempt that I try to advance a slide show returns
the following error message-
"Powerpoint couldn't create a hyperlink to ."

Any body have a suggestion?

Is this with one presentation specifically? If so I'd guess it's corrupted.

We were having this same issue with one of our users also. There is a
.dll file that needs to be replaced in order to fix this issue. It is
called hlink.dll and is located in the System32 folder. You will
basically need to get a new copy of the dll and then go into the
System32 folder and rename the current hlink.dll file to hlinkold.dll
then copy in the new one. Once this is done reboot the machine. You
should be all set.

Microsoft has put out an article on several ways to do this. It's
located under Article IDs 237470,291892.
