how large is the file? it could be causing the problem, especially if the graphics are high resolution. problem with many microsoft error messages, they dont tell you much. night be worth reinstalling powerpoint though. kim ----- justin_morgan69@xxxxxxxxxxx "First things first - - but not necessarily in that order." --Doctor Who ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Robert Carneal" <carnealre@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Hello all. I downloaded a PowerPoint presentation, checked it with Trend Micro, and Ad-aware, and it passed both. However, for some reason, ever since I download that presentation, every so often this message comes up even with PowerPoint NOT open: This PowerPoint presentation has an error. Please close the Presentation and PowerPoint. Open PowerPoint again to open the Presentation correctly. Well, when I open PowerPoint, then open this presentation, all is well. All runs fine. When I close the presentation, and close PowerPoint, the message appears, I would say about 17 minutes (estimated) apart. Is it a virus even though Trend Micro says no? I am not sure what to do to kill it. I tried saving the presentation file to a CD, and removing the file from the hard drive- but that message still appears- suggesting to me something else is wrong. Yes, I have updated Trend Micro. The presentation is very graphical. Could one of the graphics be the problem, rather than the presentation itself? Whatever the cause, how is it corrected? I would prefer keeping the presentation if possible. I don't mind cleaning, fixing it, etc., once I know how. Thanks.
