To change to single monitor set-up:
Click on Start = Settings = Control panel = Display = Settings If there are two monitors displayed there , right click on the one labeled 2. Uncheck 'attached' Ok out of the dialog boxes. Do the missing dialog boxes display now? Bill D. "s.o'b" wrote in message ... 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!

No problem -- I don't think I'd replied by the time you sent your additional
reply. :-) -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "s.o'b" wrote in message ... 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. 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 ...

Hi,
The Help/Detectg and Repair didn't fix this problem, but solved a couple of other issues so thanks for that. This Regedt32 stuff is really foreign to me. Sorry! I typed it in and got a number of small windows, all layered. From there I had no idea what to do with your next instructions about allowing full control to uswers of the following keys. You had 2 lines following that that looked liked directories for MS Office but I didn't know where to find them in those windows. I looked at the Security-Permissions. The "Allow inheritable permissions" was already checked. I'm sorry to be such a dunce about this! "Echo S" wrote: Thanks for the thorough checks and followup on what you did, s.o'b.

Echo, I did a lot of homework and figured out what you wanted me to do on the
registry - but it didn't work. Do you have any other ideas about how to get all the functions on my PP to work? I see that it isn't just custom animations and transitions, but also click art - no task panes for any of them. Thank You!

Try something for me: Go to Tools-- Options-- Edit. Check to see if any of
the bottom three boxes are checked. If they are uncheck them and see if that makes a difference. (You might also try checking them, closing PPT, re-opening PPT, unchecking them, closing and re-opening.

I don't know whether you did something to cause it or not. I just knew that
a couple of clients before the holidays had similar situations. In their cases, the boxes were checked, but they swore they didn't check them. Didn't believe them at first. Then the problem repeated. This is what fixed it. I suppose I ought to do more work to find out what's in common, but haven't gotten that round toit yet Glad to hear this solved it. Sorry I didn't make the connection earlier.

Echo, I did a lot of homework and figured out what you wanted me to do on the registry - but it didn't work. Do you have any other ideas about how to get all the functions on my PP to work?

I really don't know if it could be an add-in, but something caused the problem
and it would be useful info if we knew that no add-ins were installed. On the other hand, if an add-in is loaded this time it would give us something to look for the next time the same problem is reported. Or we could try to repro the problem to see if it is related to the add-in. "Kathy J" wrote in message ... I don't know whether you did something to cause it or not.
