My slide show transitions and custom animation tools aren't work..
I had a power point presentation done, then decided to add more slides. I set
up the text and pictures on the slides but all of a sudden when I try to use the Custom Animation or Slide Transition options, absolutely nothing happens. I am baffled.

What version of PowerPoint are you using?
Can you describe what you mean when you say the tools aren't working. Do you mean that you can't assign a transition or an animation, or do you mean that when you do apply them they don't work? -- Sonia Coleman Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun Software, Templates and Tutorials "s.o'b" wrote in message ...

I am using PowerPoint 2002. Actually, as I have explored this more there are
many things not working. If I click on Insert Picture from Click Art, I have the hour glass for about 1 second, then it disappears and I don't get the Click Art window up. Exactly the same thing happens when I click on Slide Show Custom Animation or Transition. I don't get the windows that usually pop up on the side of the screen. I am using a lap top from work. It is booting up very slowly all of a sudden. I am looking at System Information. I just realized it is Windows 200 Professional. Is it a problem running Power Point 2002 on it? I have done a few other presentation without any problems. Thank You! "Sonia" wrote: What version of PowerPoint are you using? Can you describe what you mean when you say the tools aren't working.

You shouldn't have a problem with PPT 2002 on Windows 2000.
It sounds as if there's something on the system that's making the dialogs and task panes not show up, though. Do you use Norton Antivirus? Norton Anti-Virus and Office http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00387.htm I'd also suggest downloading and running AdAware http://www.lavasoftusa.com and Spybot Search and Destroy. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html And also maybe check this http://tinyurl.com/4pg7l Not sure, but that registry change may work here, too. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "s.o'b" wrote in message ...

Is there any chance that the windows are opening on the 'Other' monitor

To Echo: I do use Norton Antivirus and regularly update it. I downloaded
AdAware and while it did fine some problems, removing the problems didn't solve the problem. I also downloaded Spybot S&D - again it found problems, removed them but didn't fix the problem. Today I saw something about a site called AumHa.org and from it downloaded CWShredder. I guess it looks for something called CoolWeb Search - but didn't find anything. I did try your last suggestion - tinyrl.com/4pg7l and I see kind of a log of many problems but I don't know what to do with it. I didn't see anything directly related to my problem. Any other ideas? To Bill Dilworth: I'm sorry, I really don't even know what a dual screen mode is. I assume it is a setting? "Echo S" wrote: You shouldn't have a problem with PPT 2002 on Windows 2000.

Thanks for the thorough checks and followup on what you did, s.o'b.
I'd next try going to Help/Detect and Repair and see if running that fixes it. The relevant part of the tinyurl link is below. That's the next thing I'd try. But you will probably need to make some modifications to that exact regedit sequence. If Start/Run Regedt32 doesn't work, try Start/Run and type regedit (I'm not sure which works with Win2000, you see). Also, I believe the version of Office you're looking for will be 10.0. Can't guarantee that this will work, but it's worth a try. Be sure to back up the registry before trying this! Click Start, Run, Regedt32, OK Allow full control to users of the following keys: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0 HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0 Security - Permissions - check "Allow inheritable permissions" - Allow fullcontrol to all users. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "s.o'b" wrote in message ...

I do use Norton Anti-Virus and update it regularly. It shows no problems. I
already had AdAware but hadn't updated it. When I did it showed a few problems, but when they were removed, my PowerPoint still wasn't working. I downloaded Spybot S&D. It also found a few problems and removed them, but no luck with Power Point. I saw a reference to a site called AumHa.org today and from there tried something called CWShredder but it didn't find anything. Do you have any other ideas? I really appreciate your help!

I'm sorry, Bill. I really don't know anything about a dual screen mode. I
just looked on the control panel but I didn't see anything about it. Would you please explain? Thank You!

Echo, I'm not used to using this discussion group. I didn't see your answer
and so I sent another reply. Please ignore. I will try to do what you suggested earlier. Thank You "Echo S" wrote: Thanks for the thorough checks and followup on what you did, s.o'b.
