PowerPoint's been making me nuts on one of the PCs here.
VISTA, PPT2007

Suddenly it started giving me "PowerPoint has stopped working" messages
at start up. Subsequent attempts to start it got me offers of Safe
Mode and after that, Detect and Repair. No joy.

At one point I turned Windows/Office update loose and let it have its
way. That got PPT sorted out.

For a couple of days. But like Arnold in the Terminator ... it came
back.

A bit of research and some registry diving got me here:

Message: "PowerPoint has stopped working" at startup.
PowerPoint won't start.

In my case it seems that the problem was Jaws PDFCreator (or its
PowerPoint add-in, at least). Perhaps it's not compatible with
VISTA/Office 2007. In any case, with it out of the picture, PPT seems
happy. I'm still waiting to see if Arnold appears and Terminates PPT
again ... fingers X-ed.

If you've come up with any other solutions to this problem, let's hear
the details ... they may want to find a home on this same page.

Thanks.

Just one of them? PowerPoint tends to make me nuts no matter which
computer I'm working on. ;)

Perhaps I should have said that while it makes me nuts when it runs,
its refusal to run makes me even crazier. My friends say it's hard to
tell, they don't notice much difference from normal.
