Problems closing Powerpoint 2007

[IanLaidlaw]

I have Powerpoint 2007 with Vista on a Sony Vaio. I have just converted the
trial version supplied to a full version. However the problem I was
experiencing in the trial version has continued. In short, I get an error
when I try to close Powerpoint that causes 2 actions - 1. an attempt to
reopen Powerpoint and an attempt to report the problem.
Any ideas how I can fix this? PS it also happens with Word 2007/Vista.

Thanks Ian

Hi Ian

This sounds like a printer driver issue. Crazy, I know, but you're just
going to have to trust me ;-)

If installing the suggested test printer driver doesn't work, come back with
the text of the error message please.

Hi John

The printer driver issue isn't related to printing - it's related to the way
PowerPoint (and I believe Word) renders what you are looking at on the
screen. There is a technical link between the printer driver and the way the
programme works. I have no idea why (or what any of the techy details are),
I just know that installing the recommended test printer driver solves many
problems for many. many users. It's a good troubleshooting step.

If installing the test printer driver doesn't solve the issue, please come
back with the exact text of the error message you are getting.
