Error message when advancing between slides

[David Dykema]

We have one machine that is getting the error
message "powerpoint cannot create hyperlink" when
advancing between slides in a slideshow.

This occurs with any powerpoint document opened on this
machine.

I reinstalled office 2K Pro and reapplied service pack 3
but the problem is still there.

Any ideas?

 

[David Dykema]

Never mind, I fixed the problem.

hlink.dll/internet explorer 6 was corrupted.

to fix:
renamed hlink.dll in windows system folder. Then chose to
repair internet explorer.
Could not repair internet explorer so had to rerun setup
and reinstall all components. After this was done,
powerpoint worked correctly.

Well cool! How the heck did you discover THIS one?
And more important, thanks for reporting back on it.
