PPT 2003 Presentations Crash Randomly While Looped

[Guest]

Hi,

I am running PPT 2003. I make the presentation on one PC and the
presentation runs fine on that PC. When I bring it to another PC, the
presentation crashes while looped. I have uninstalled and reinstalled PPT,
plus ensured that i have all updates. I have checked the drive for errors,
fragmentation, viruses, and spyware. I have turned off virus checking and
the network.
I cannot find any reason for this.

I've read up on this, and will check:
1) Video drivers & settings
2) BIOS updates & settings
3) Save presentation as RTF & Reload
4) watch for AVI & graphics incompatibilities

Does anyone have any other suggestions to solve this problem?

That would be as HTML, rather than RTF

I am no expert but I had a similar problem when running a
presentation. I found out that, due to some picture and diagrams I had
in the presentation, that were not present on the actual computer I
was using for the presentation, the programme would go looking for
them, not find them & crash. The answer to my problem was to make sure
all the objects in the final PP presentation were converted to MS
Power Point objects.From memory: Right click on object. If EDIT
PICTURE comes up on menu click it and it will ask you if you want to
convert it. click 'Yes'. Yours may be a different problem.

Thank you to Steve and Bookworm for posting. I tried your suggestions to no
avail plus my own. The only solution I have found is to save the
presentation as a standalone PPS, Powerpoint Show. I'll have to research
more what this means.
