I am creating a side presentation heavey on photos. The program stops (shows
black screen with the message to click to exit) after slide 103. There are
118 slides in the presentation. Why the unexpected stop?

Couple of possibilities...

1) Slide 104 thru 118 are hidden. To check this, change to slide sorter
view and see if the numbers have a grey box and line thru them. If so, then
select them, right click and select hidden again to un-hide them.

2) Pictures or slides may have become corrupted. What happens if you move
slides 1 thru 50 to the end of the presentation? Does it end at slide 53?
still 103? You may benefit from round tripping the presentation thru HTML
code since this may clear a lot of the minor corruption. Does deleting
slide 104 from **a copy** of the presentation allow the rest to show
normally?
**HTML "Round-tripping" to repair corruption

3) Your presentation may be too big for your computer. Have you optimized
your graphics? It may be a system resource issue and you are giving the
computer more than it can handle.
**Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

Do any of these fix the problem?

In addition to Bill's suggestions, go to Slide Show > Set Up Show and make sure
that it is set to show *ALL* slides, or at least from 1 to 118.

Thanks Sonia. This was the problem, which I eventually figured out. I'm I'd
added pictures and the number of slides doesn't automatically update. Thank
you for your help.

If you want to show all the (non-hidden) slides just don't specify
anything in that dialog box. By default, PP will show all slides
during a presentation.
