Slide Show not working in office 2007 beta

[Guest]

The slide show feature in the office 2007 beta does not seem to be working !
When i click on the slide show button under the "view" tab, a new tab opens
in the task bar with a title "Microsoft Power Point Slide Show [
Prsentation1]".Nothing happens when i click on that tab. And i cant close it
unless i close PowerPoint itself ! Is this some sort of a bug or is there a
different way of using slide show now and I'm doing something wrong ?

Works OK here. Sure you have show set to display on primary monitor?

Even released versions of PPT will do this if the presentation is set to run on
the secondary monitor and you don't HAVE a secondary monitor.

Change the slide show setup to primary monitor and you should be ok.

Slide Show tab, click Set Up Slide Show and look under Multiple Monitors.
