Side Show Stops Scrolling

[Guest]

SI have a slide show that I want to continuous loop for several days on a
monitor. Every so often the slides stop scrolling. I have to click on the
slide to get going again. It stops at no specific time. Sometimes it will
scroll for several days then stop. Is there a way to keep this thing going?

The problem lies not only in PowerPoint, but also in computer hardware,
which is not made for 24 h non-stop working. We have a message board in our
reception area and saw similar effects. Now we re-start the computer and the
presentation every morning and it normally works flawlessly until the
evening.

Best regards,

Is there a way to insert some command every 24 hours that would enter a space
bar or a left mouse click so the slide show would not have to be restarted?

There is this free ShowMonitor add-in at
http://officeone.mvps.org/showmonitor/showmonitor.html - it monitors the
slide show and if it does not move within a specified time interval, it
advances the slide show. See if this helps you.
