If it keeps going inactive sounds like there may be a problem with the Add In.

Maybe they have seen the problem before. This is from the Adobe Forum

If the above solution doesn't work, try the following:

1. Click the Office PowerPoint button (upper left), and then click PowerPoint Options.
   
   
   
   
2. Select Add-Ins. In the Manage pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box, select COM Add-Ins and click Go.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Select Adobe Presenter Powerpoint COM Addin from the list. Write down the Location path.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Deselect all add-ins in the list except the Adobe Presenter Addin and click Remove.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Click Add and navigate to the MenuLauncher.dll file at the location you wrote down in step 3.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Click OK. Click OK again.
