PowerPoint 2002 hang when editing

[Eddie Ngan]

Dear Sir/Madam,


Currently I am using OfficeXP English Edition, and
installed in windows XP Professional. I have installed all
the lastest patch for officeXP. When ever i use the
powerpoint to edit a presentation for around 5 mins, it
halt. But i have tried to use the same document and put it
into other machine. Its working fine at all. So i suspect
my PC may have some problem. Therefore i uninstall the
office and reinstall office over and over, the problem
remain unchange. But i am very happy with the Excel and
Word. So does anyone know how to fix it??

Thank you very much indeed!

Eddie Ngan.

Eddie,

Have you recently installed the latest Service Pack for Windows XP? It may
be that your PowerPoint program has become slow after applying Windows XP
SP1 :

If this doesn't help, please look at whether you have Journaling enabled:

Also, see what programs you may have running in the background.

In addition to Glen's suggestions, make sure you have a printer driver
installed locally. More info on that at
