Some controls can't be activated
I have a Powerpoint presentation that I received from a 3rd party (*.ppt
files). The presentation includes several animations that I *think* are Shockwave objects. When the file is first loaded, there is this popup error message: "Some controls on this presentation can't be activated. They might not be registered on this computer." When I click on the object to run the animation, PP merely advances to the next slide, instead of running the Shockwave (or Flash, or whatever else it might be) animation. This behavior happens with this particular presentation on at least the following systems: Windows XP sp3 running Powerpoint 2003 sp3; Vista sp2 running Powerpoint 2003 sp3; and Windows 7 running Powerpoint 2007. The Vista and Windows 7 also pop up a warning about security level, but I don't have those either of those computers at the moment, so I can't give the exact error. On the XP box, the Adobe test page shows that Shockwave 11.5.6r606 is properly installed. Likewise, Flash 10,0,45,2 is properly installed. How do I determine what controls PP is complaining about and go about "registering" them? Or is this something that the author of the presentation needs to do? In the latter case, what do I need to tell him to do? -- Lem |
