OK... Here is my final report... I think there is a problem... And it is not
an obvious one... Its rather hard to find it (especially if you have a good computer). I tried to reproduce the crash on my computer at home. I have an intel based computer with an E6750 CPU and 2GB of RAM. My Winows Vista Home Premium engish have a Rate of 5.5. My office is a pro edition International (english) 2007 (If you need more specifications please let me know) I did the same thing as always (the same procedure I described earlier). Everything was going perfectly right! I sent a report to my boss saying "It worked!!!" (Thats how sure I was about the working condition of PowerPoint on my compute). I don't know why... but after a lot of opening and closing of those Powerpoint slides (I created a third one also for this check), PowerPoint started behaving abnormally. Without seen any of the problems I had before the "classic" "Microsoft Office Powerpoint has stopped working" showed up. I thought that it was nothing and I continued to reopen the presentations. after a lot of reopenings, crashes became more and more (everytime I closed PP it crashed) and at the end graphs started missing!! (The same old problem from XP). If you close the Windows Session everything becomes normal until you pressure it a little bit (Ahhmmm a lot). Now at work. The computers there are Pentium 4 3.00 GHz with 1 GB of RAM. The problem there is much easier to see. If you reopen 2 or 3 times the "heavy on graphs" presentations, you get the crash. On both systems after it starts crashing, it always crashes until you reboot. I tried on more than one PC at work, but no luck. If you need any "Heavy on Graphs" Presentation I can send you 3. Just tell me how to upload them and where... Hope I managed to enlighten you a little bit Sorry for the blah blah... Alexander "Echo S" wrote: Well, I have good news and bad news.

Hi Alexander
I'm also unable to recreate the problem. A couple of thoughts that may or may not be helpful: 1. Does it happen if you click on the chart icon in the content placeholder rather than using insert - chart 2. Does it happen if you use chart tools - layout (contaxt sensitive tab that only appears when you have a chart selected) - data labels - show?

Bug on Graphs
Guys... I want to thank you.... I'm writing this because a found a solution!!
The problem seems to be on the processor (CPU) which is a Pentium 4 3GH with Hyperthreading technology. Well I just disabled Hyperthreading and... thats it. No more crashes!!! It might be a problem on the CPU architecture... But it does the same on my Core 2 duo CPU (A lot harder of course)... so... I don't think so. Maybe its a programming problem on multi threaded code of PowerPoint. Nevertheless, the solution to whomever has this problem is to check multi CPU functions and disable Hyperthreading if neccessary.
