2003 Presentations will not run on 2007 Powerpoint

[Billy Peludo]

I have a number of large (3 - 8 Mb) 2003 ppt presentations. They hang up the
computer and I have to shut down and reboot before Powerpoint will run again.
This is a new HP machine using Windows Vista. And the files run perfectly
on the earlier 2003 version on another machine. I am not sure but it looks
like the Excel charts embedded in the presentations are the culprit.

Does anyone else have this kind of problem and have you solved it?

Hi Billy

This is going to sound a bit odd, but see if installing the printer driver
here helps:
