Slide Show

[Guest]

I have been running a slide show on our closed circuit TV channel using power
point for over 3 week with no problem. Today, the slides being displayed
were flipped on their side (rotated 90 degrees). The slide show on the lap
top appears okay. Is there something in the problem that might have changed
which caused this. When I display just my screen background is appears
correctly. Any ideas or help. Thanks

Dennis,
PowerPoint is known to throw a fit or two when you run a slideshow
continuously for a decent about a time. Your best bet is to restart the
slide show after a fixed interval of time.

No idea offhand, but this is one of those weirdo things that just screams for
you to totally power down the computer, have a cup of something relaxing,
restart and see if it persists.

Shyam/Steve,

I routinely update the slide show (at least once a day) with new
information or delete expired slides. To do this I close the existing
program, copy over an updated version and open the new program. Today when
the problem hit I closed PP, shut down the computer, then powered up and open
PP and slide show. The problem still existed. I created a new test PP show
and tried it with the same results.

I was wondering if something in the PP software got corrupted and if
reinstalling the software might help. Everything else appears to be running
fine on the laptop which is only a couple of months old so not expecting a
problem there. Comments?
Thanks.

Hi Dennis,

have a look into the manual of your monitors. With most there is a shortcut
key you might have accidentally hit to flip the slides sideways. But there
should be a menu setting to correct this. I would not blame PowerPoint, but
the hardware.

Best regards,
Ute

Ute,

Thanks. I am using a laptop so will scope it to see if there is button
which might cause this disrupt.

I'll go along with Ute's post, but I'd also look into your display properties.
Is it possible that your video adapter/driver allows for 90 degree rotation?

Is this a tablet by any chance, though?

Do you use PPT2DVD from ppt-to-dvd.com to put powerpoint on TV?
If so, you should contact their technicians.
