Office computer PP presentation will not run on home computer.

[Guest]

My PP presentation will work at the office. I copied it to a memory stick and
it works on my office computer, but I can not run the slide presentation on
my home computer. When I click the "slide presentation icon" nothing
happens--all my slides are there, but it won't run the presentation. What do
I need to do to corect this? Be gentle, please, I'm rather clueless when it
comes to PP. Thanks.

There are lots of things that could be wrong. Have you tried going to the
Slide Show menu and choosing View Show? When you say nothing, do you mean
that it is just as if you hadn't clicked at all, or do you mean something
happens but not what you expected? If something happens, can you describe
that it in a little more detail? Also, if you can, try to list the versions
of PowerPoint you are using at home and the office.

1. Do you have powerpoint at home? I guess so if you can see the slides is it
the same version, is the office version 2007?
2. By slide presentation icon do you mean the icon on the stick or the
little "screen" bottom left in powerpoint? Did you try f5 or choose slide
show > view show to start the show?
3. Check in slide show >set up show for ...
a) show is set to play on PRIMARY monitor
b) show is set to play ALL slides

Dear John,
Thank you for your response--it worked! The problem was, the wrong monitor
was selected. When I switched to the primary monitor--all problems gone.
Thank you so very much for your help.

Sincerely,

David, thank you for your response to my PP problem. The problem was I had
the wrong monitor selected. My PP presentations work fine now.
