I am using PowerPoint 2010 on my win 7 laptop.

When I run a slidshow on my system I get the following errors.



When the slide show loads a page with a title and several points, on which all the points are animated "on click", the first point always show up automatically. When I click, the first point shows up again. If I click back from here, the first point disappears for a second, then reappears on it's own.

As I continue to click through to display the following points, randomly one of the following points may just not display. For example, point 2 is now showing, I click to see point 3 but is does not display, I click again and now point 4 shows but still no point 3. If I back through the clicks sometimes it will display point 3, sometimes it will not.

Also, randomly as I am clicking through points, a point may "link" itself to the first point. Meaning, when I click to display point 4, point one also refreshes. If I click back to hide point 4 point 1 now disappears.

Also... when I go into to print a presentation, if I click to choose a printer, the list randomly closes on it's own as I move the mouse down the list to pick the printer I want. This also happens if I click the "how many slides per page" option. I click and see the list start to move down and it closes.

What I have tried...
-I can run the same powerpoint on another computer with no problems.
-I have gone through removing and readding powerpoint.
-I have downloaded a new install file and used it to uninstall and reinstall powerpoint
-I have deleted the current user registry information and then reinstalled after that.
-I installed powerpointviewer and it had the same errors when running the slideshow
-I was able to open and properly run the powerpoint in google apps on this computer.

Any ideas would be wonderful. This laptop is one we have used for doing presentations. In the fall we did a full wipe of the old win 7 32bit and installed win 7 64bit. Office was and still is the 32bit version.

Thanks

Are you sure you don't have animation on the MASTER. This might be as a reusly of an animation scheme in an earlier version.

Hi John,

Thanks for the idea. The problem was actually the default printer. For some reason when I changed the default printer everything started working perfect. If it change the printer back to the other printer, all the errors come right back as they were.

Whatever the case and whatever the linking, the default printer is the key to this one.

Thanks
