I must be going insane...
I have some pretty simple PowerPoint presentations.
I've had no trouble presenting them before. Page Up and
Page Down keys work great for moving between slides,
as does Enter and Backspace.
And in a pinch, right mouse button and selecting Next or Previous.
However, for some reason today, almost nothing works. And I
haven't changed anything (honest!)
I'm running Office XP (PowerPoint 2002 10.6501.6626) SP3.
When I try to run any of these presentations (or even create a new one)
I can't get the slide transitions to happen. But when I escape out, I'm
at the slide I should have been on in the presentation. this is using the
slide show setup "Presented by a speaker (full screen).". Additionally,
if I try to use the right mouse button during the presentation in order
to select Next or Previous, the area where the popup menu appeared
is not refreshed, and remains black once the popup is gone. And sometimes
the slide show hangs just in coming up.
If I change the show setup to Browsed by an individual (window) the
navigation keys for the slide show seem to work as they are supposed to.
This is on a 1.1 gigahertz Pentium III laptop with 512mb of RAM and
plenty of free disk space.
I am totally at a loss for what to do. And even with this problem resolved,
I still might be going nuts.
Any help greatly appreciated.
