This is a bug in PPT 2002 -- Kiosk mode is broken and doesn't reset as it
should.

Chirag has a tool that will help, though. See

Ya...Thanks.!
I found the fix...i kept digging into office help and found some reference
to "KIOSK ASSIST". I did a msn search for kiosk assist and ....Magic!
You folks have great service. I think office discussion groups are great!
Thanks for your help!

I've been using the PPT 2002 with Kiosk assistant successfully for nearly a
year. I'm running a PPS on an unattended kiosk 24/7. It has 90 slides with
navigation within the show. I've noticed that eventually PowerPoint detects
an error and quits. Sometimes it stops after only a few hours, sometimes I
stops after a day. Am I expecting too much?

No, but PowerPoint isn't always delivering what it promises. (That's a nicer way of
looking at it, I think; why blame yourself, after all? <g>)

It's a known problem that's never been pinned down well enough for MS to fix. When you
say it detect an error, does it actually throw a message box about it on screen (that
is, something with more detail than "Oooh, I feel sick. Gotta go ...")?

If so, can you post the exact text next time it happens?

I'm glad you found the answer, lolli. Sorry we all missed your question last
