Were using Office Powerpoint 2003 and a Dell projector, When you leave a
slide up too long Powerpoint freezes and requires a restart to move to the
next slide.
Any ideas.

Thanks

Hi Gene

Do you mean it comes out of slide show mode? If so it may be caused by
somthing running in the background and grabbing focus from PowerPoint - a
screensaver, e-mail client, anti-virus etc.

I'd say it sticks in slideshow mode and wont go to the next slide. How ever
both user that are having this probulem are our biggest email users (5-7gb
ost)

Hi Gene

Can you tell us more about the presentation? I take it the slides all have
transitions set to 'automatically after.....'? Does it stop on the same
slide? Is there music? The more info the better....
