My slide show transitions and custom animation tools aren't work..

[Guest]

I had a power point presentation done, then decided to add more slides. I set
up the text and pictures on the slides but all of a sudden when I try to use
the Custom Animation or Slide Transition options, absolutely nothing happens.
I am baffled.

 

[Sonia]

What version of PowerPoint are you using?

Can you describe what you mean when you say the tools aren't working. Do you
mean that you can't assign a transition or an animation, or do you mean that
when you do apply them they don't work?

 

[Guest]

I am using PowerPoint 2002. Actually, as I have explored this more there are
many things not working. If I click on Insert Picture from Click Art, I have
the hour glass for about 1 second, then it disappears and I don't get the
Click Art window up. Exactly the same thing happens when I click on Slide
Show Custom Animation or Transition. I don't get the windows that usually pop
up on the side of the screen. I am using a lap top from work. It is booting
up very slowly all of a sudden. I am looking at System Information. I just
realized it is Windows 200 Professional. Is it a problem running Power Point
2002 on it? I have done a few other presentation without any problems. Thank
You!

You shouldn't have a problem with PPT 2002 on Windows 2000.

It sounds as if there's something on the system that's making the dialogs
and task panes not show up, though.

Do you use Norton Antivirus?
Norton Anti-Virus and Office
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00387.htm

I'd also suggest downloading and running AdAware http://www.lavasoftusa.com
and Spybot Search and Destroy. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

And also maybe check this http://tinyurl.com/4pg7l

Not sure, but that registry change may work here, too.

 

[Bill Dilworth]

Is there any chance that the windows are opening on the 'Other' monitor
screen? Is the laptop set up in dual screen mode?

To Echo: I do use Norton Antivirus and regularly update it. I downloaded
AdAware and while it did fine some problems, removing the problems didn't
solve the problem. I also downloaded Spybot S&D - again it found problems,
removed them but didn't fix the problem. Today I saw something about a site
called AumHa.org and from it downloaded CWShredder. I guess it looks for
something called CoolWeb Search - but didn't find anything. I did try your
last suggestion - tinyrl.com/4pg7l and I see kind of a log of many problems
but I don't know what to do with it. I didn't see anything directly related
to my problem. Any other ideas?
To Bill Dilworth: I'm sorry, I really don't even know what a dual screen
mode is. I assume it is a setting?

Thanks for the thorough checks and followup on what you did, s.o'b.

I'd next try going to Help/Detect and Repair and see if running that fixes
it.

The relevant part of the tinyurl link is below. That's the next thing I'd
try. But you will probably need to make some modifications to that exact
regedit sequence. If Start/Run Regedt32 doesn't work, try Start/Run and type
regedit (I'm not sure which works with Win2000, you see). Also, I believe
the version of Office you're looking for will be 10.0.
Can't guarantee that this will work, but it's worth a try. Be sure to back
up the registry before trying this!


Click Start, Run, Regedt32, OK

I do use Norton Anti-Virus and update it regularly. It shows no problems. I
already had AdAware but hadn't updated it. When I did it showed a few
problems, but when they were removed, my PowerPoint still wasn't working. I
downloaded Spybot S&D. It also found a few problems and removed them, but no
luck with Power Point. I saw a reference to a site called AumHa.org today and
from there tried something called CWShredder but it didn't find anything. Do
you have any other ideas? I really appreciate your help!

To change to single monitor set-up:

Click on Start => Settings => Control panel => Display => Settings

If there are two monitors displayed there , right click on the one labeled
2. Uncheck 'attached'

Ok out of the dialog boxes.




Do the missing dialog boxes display now?

Hi,
The Help/Detectg and Repair didn't fix this problem, but solved a couple of
other issues so thanks for that. This Regedt32 stuff is really foreign to me.
Sorry! I typed it in and got a number of small windows, all layered. From
there I had no idea what to do with your next instructions about allowing
full control to uswers of the following keys. You had 2 lines following that
that looked liked directories for MS Office but I didn't know where to find
them in those windows. I looked at the Security-Permissions. The "Allow
inheritable permissions" was already checked. I'm sorry to be such a dunce
about this!

Try something for me: Go to Tools--> Options--> Edit. Check to see if any of
the bottom three boxes are checked. If they are uncheck them and see if that
makes a difference. (You might also try checking them, closing PPT,
re-opening PPT, unchecking them, closing and re-opening. I am wondering if
something is turning the new features on and off.)

I am using PowerPoint 2002. Actually, as I have explored this more there
are
many things not working. If I click on Insert Picture from Click
Art, I
have
the hour glass for about 1 second, then it disappears and I don't
get the
Click Art window up. Exactly the same thing happens when I click on Slide
Show Custom Animation or Transition. I don't get the windows that usually
pop
up on the side of the screen. I am using a lap top from work. It is
booting
up very slowly all of a sudden. I am looking at System Information.
I just
realized it is Windows 200 Professional. Is it a problem running
Power
Point
2002 on it? I have done a few other presentation without any
problems.
Thank
You!

that
when you do apply them they don't work?

I had a power point presentation done, then decided to add more slides.
I set
up the text and pictures on the slides but all of a sudden when
I try
to use
the Custom Animation or Slide Transition options, absolutely nothing
happens.
I am baffled.

 

[Sonia]

Oh, and maybe there's an add-in installed that's killing them. I don't think
we've asked if going to Tools > Add-Ins reveals anything listed.

Try something for me: Go to Tools--> Options--> Edit. Check to see if any of
the bottom three boxes are checked. If they are uncheck them and see if that
makes a difference. (You might also try checking them, closing PPT, re-opening
PPT, unchecking them, closing and re-opening. I am wondering if something is
turning the new features on and off.)

Echo, I did a lot of homework and figured out what you wanted me to do on the
registry - but it didn't work. Do you have any other ideas about how to get
all the functions on my PP to work? I see that it isn't just custom
animations and transitions, but also click art - no task panes for any of
them. Thank You! Sue

Thanks for the thorough checks and followup on what you did, s.o'b.

I'd next try going to Help/Detect and Repair and see if running that fixes
it.

The relevant part of the tinyurl link is below. That's the next thing I'd
try. But you will probably need to make some modifications to that exact
regedit sequence. If Start/Run Regedt32 doesn't work, try Start/Run and type
regedit (I'm not sure which works with Win2000, you see). Also, I believe
the version of Office you're looking for will be 10.0.
Can't guarantee that this will work, but it's worth a try. Be sure to back
up the registry before trying this!


Click Start, Run, Regedt32, OK
Allow full control to users of the following keys:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0

Security - Permissions - check "Allow inheritable permissions" - Allow

I don't know whether you did something to cause it or not. I just knew that
a couple of clients before the holidays had similar situations. In their
cases, the boxes were checked, but they swore they didn't check them. Didn't
believe them at first. Then the problem repeated. This is what fixed it. I
suppose I ought to do more work to find out what's in common, but haven't
gotten that round toit yet

Glad to hear this solved it. Sorry I didn't make the connection earlier.
(Oh - Sonia - Addins were a good idea too. Don't suppose that's what is
causing the anomalies do you?)

I really don't know if it could be an add-in, but something caused the problem
and it would be useful info if we knew that no add-ins were installed. On the
other hand, if an add-in is loaded this time it would give us something to look
for the next time the same problem is reported. Or we could try to repro the
problem to see if it is related to the add-in.
