Slide show won't show

[Mike@Scooter]

No matter how I try to run a slide show, all I get is the PowerPoint Slide
Show icon at the bottom of my screen but the slide show won't run. It seems
like it's deactivated somehow. This is regardless whether I use the Slide
Show drop down menu, the little computer screen icon in the lower left, or
the View drop down menu.

I ran the MicroSoft 'repair' utility, and I have shut down and restarted
both the program and my computer. What else can I try in order to restore
it?

Check in Slide Show > Set Up Show

Do you have show on SECONDARY monitor selected. If so switch back to primary
and see if that fixes it.

Regards John

Gee whiz, thanks John. That's it exactly! I just added a 2nd monitor but
turned it off when I thought it wasn't needed.

Thanks for the assist!

Scary isn't it! I've fixed three of these this month as using second monitors
gets more common. One guy didn't even own a second monitor but his son had
used the laptop at school!
