PowerPoint crashes everytime I use Photo Album to insert photos

G

Guest

Any suggestions on what can cause Powerpoint to crash and have to restart
every time I try to insert pictures in Powerpoint using the "New Photo Album"
feature. I have a Dell Latitude D800 notebook computer. This feature has
worked fine in other versions of PowerPoint but will not work at all in
Office 2003 PowerPoint.

I have the same problem: PPT crashes using photo album. And I installed
Office 2003 SP-1? Any other suggestions?

Nuts. Not a clue.

What kind of images are you trying to insert via the photo album? How big
are they?

If you choose a different image type, does that work? How about if you
choose only, oh, 4 or 5 images to insert?

Do you get an error message when PPT crashes?

tried to download jpg files, 1, 2, 3, or many. still crashes.
tried small files 500 KB to large fiels 1.5 MB.
It's a generic MS "Sorry" message. Asks to send report to MS.
Tried repairing and reistalling Office 2003.
Tried downloading Office SP1, it says its already installed. (not sure I
believe this).
Thanks for your effort.

Man, I just don't know, then. Detect and Repair would have been my next
suggestion.

Other than that, I guess there's a possiblilty that an add-in is conflicting
or something. You could close PPT, search for all *.PPA files on your system
and rename them to *.PPO. Then restart PPT and try the photo album again.

The only other thing I know to do is call MS Product Support.

Or here's some info on other batch import options. (Not that I think it's
right that you should have to rely on one of these just because PhotoAlbum
isn't working right.)

Interesting about this problem.

I have been using the Photo Album insert successfully for over a year on
this Dell 8600 and now just today, it begins to crash at the creation stage.
Resized images and tried again, no luck. D & R did not correct problem.

This happened on my previous machine too... could never get that function to
work again.

Hmmm

Interesting is right. So you think maybe the photo album can only take so
many bad pictures before it craps out?

Seriously, though, that is very strange. And I don't know what would cause
it. Only other thing I can think to try is turning down hardware
acceleration. How to set graphics hardware acceleration back

Using PowerPoint2003...

Yes, some add ins. Flashback; animcarbon;PowerPlugs Video Backgrounds;

Periodically I add in Pixerter, another nice little program for inserting,
but every time it loads, a built in menu item disappears from the tool bar.
I have mentioned this to the programmer.

I have not tried to disable the add ins as yet.

Is that what you might suggest?

I'd suggest disabling all of them, seeing if the problem still occurs, and
if it doesn't, rename the PPA files/re-enable the add-ins until you locate
the problem.
