Export to powerpoint to run on Vista notebook and h264 decompressor message

I am using Keynote 08 to create a presentation with several Quicktime videos. I plan to use a Macbook to present, but have exported to Powerpoint to put on my Windows Vista notebook as a backup in case of a problem (learned the hard way). Anyway, I export to Powerpoint fine, burn to a DVD and when I load it to my Windows machine and get to a slide with a video clip embedded, I get the message "Quicktime and an H264 decompressor are need to see this picture."
I have Quicktime player 7.2 loaded on my laptop. Why I am getting this message and what do I need to do to get this to run on my Vista notebook?
Roger

I would suggest exporting from Keynote as a quicktime file. It'll run in quicktime on your PC.

Version 3 stopped running. Click icon and get this message.

I've had PE3 installed since the product came out and have done nothing different with my PC. I click the icon and get "the instruction at 0x09fd10e3 referenced memory at ox00000018 the memory could not be read". I have 160gb of free space, XP OS, have tried uninstalling and re-installing with the same result.

If these suggestions do not work, and they should, you might want to look into two areas:
1.) your physical RAM. There are utilities (mostly freeware on the Web) that will test your RAM modules. These do fail, from time to time. When they fail, one often gets error messages, such as yours.
2.) check that some other program is not seizing memory, that PE3 thinks it should have. Some programs do not do a good job of reporting their memory addresses to Windows, so there is then confusion, and one gets messages, such as yours. Before launching PE3, close down all AV, spyware and pop-up blocking software. I then use a freeware program, EndItAll2 to stop all unnecessary processes, and I'll be you have 60, or so, running (look in Task Manager>Processes and count them). Once this has been done, launch PE3 and see if it runs better. There could be literally hundreds of tiny programs, that will not accurately report their memory allocation to Windows correctly. This could be any number of programs that you loaded, or may even have been installed along with something else, like "search bars," for your browser. Almost every program that you install today will also install one of these, Yahoo, Google, Ask, etc., with their suggested default install. The user doesn't even know that they have been added. That is why I always do a Custom install for EVERYTHING. I want to know, see and control every module of every program, that goes onto any of my machines.
Follow Steve's tips first, as your problem will likely be solved there.
Good luck,

Guide: Optimizing Your Windows XP/Vista Notebook

purpose:
to build a highly optimized, personalized, faster, smaller and more secure OS installation using windows xp (can use vista also but this guide will not cover it in any detail)
plus i was bored to tears
information:
this is a somewhat advanced guide not meant for those unfamilure with the tools and techniques used here
the basics of this guide can be applied to most/all windows xp/vista notebooks and desktops, not just Lenovo, however in my case i run windows xp pro on a T60 (8743) with an add-on graphics card (similar to a T60p i assume) and this guide will be geared toward this config.
many alterations can be made, so it is very general in nature and should not be taken literally
this is my personal machine and i am not on a private network. you may have to adjust as necessary.
disclaimer:
it ain't my fault
what will you gain:
* a highly customized OS
* faster boot times
* more free disk space
* a lighter, snappier feeling OS
* a more secure OS
* a more stable OS
* more free RAM
* less problems (or maybe more if you're not careful)
with all due respect to Lenovo, i have found that the less Lenovo software i install the fewer glitches i have and the faster things run. this is often the case for various other hardware vendors that supply proprietary software which is often not needed, or not all of which is needed.
what you will need: (all free, except for possibly the OS):
* a windows xp/vista installation disk. though you may be able to do this using your i386 directory (perhaps on the recovery partition), a full, non-OEM disk is preferred.
* SP2 and SP3 (it is my understanding that either SP1 or SP2 should be installed before installing SP3, though i have built installations with SP3 only).
* dotNet runtime
* nLite (or vLite for vista) - http://www.nliteos.com/
* Ryan's Windows XP Post-SP3 Update Pack - http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/
* Ryan's integration tool - http://integrator.siginetsoftware.com/index.php?download
* all current drivers for your hardware
please read any license agreements for the above (for instance, nLite is not to be used for commercial applications)
also visit the nLite and RyanVM forums as there's a ton of helpful info there, add-on packs, etc., and please consider donating to them both if you like the software. both are great guys. i wouldn't bother running windows anymore without nLite. from Nuhi's page (his english is not the best):
Have you ever wanted to remove Windows components like Media Player, Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, MSN Explorer, Messenger...
How about not even to install them with Windows ?
nLite is a tool for pre-installation Windows configuration and component removal at your choice. Optional bootable image ready for burning on media or testing in virtual machines.
With nLite you will be able to have Windows installation which on install does not include, or even contain on media, the unwanted components.
Features
* Service Pack Integration
* Component Removal
* Unattended Setup
* Driver Integration *
* Hotfixes Integration **
* Tweaks
* Services Configuration
* Patches ***
* Bootable ISO creation
basic build procedure:
* install the dotNet runtime
* install nLite (or vLite for vista)
* create a directory structure something like:
c:\nlite\source\
c:\nlite\working\
c:\nlite\sp\
c:\nlite\hotfix\
* download Ryan's post SP3 update pack and dump it in c:\nlite\hotfix\
* download Ryan's integration tool and dump in c:\nlite\hotfix\
note that you can use nLite to integrate service packs and hotfix's, but i prefer Ryan's tool as i have had problems in the past using nLite to integrate Ryan's post SP update cabs, though this happened during the earlier beta days of nLite.
* download xp SP2 and SP3 service packs and dump in c:\nlite\sp\
* copy contents of windows installation disk to c:\nlite\source\
* using Ryan's integrator, set update pack path to c:\nlite\sp\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe, windows source to c:\nlite\source\, and destination to c:\nlite\working\ and start integration
* using Ryan's integrator, set update pack path to c:\nlite\sp\WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe set windows source to c:\nlite\working\ and destination to c:\nlite\working\ and integrate SP3. after SP3 is integrated, if you want to save the windows installation for the next time you install, copy it elsewhere before moving on.
* using Ryan's integrator set source to c:\nlite\hotfix\ (where you dumped Ryan's post SP3 update cab) and destination to c:\nlite\working\ and run it.
* start nLite and set the windows installation path to c:\nlite\working\
make sure that, in the "version" box, that SP3 is written, otherwise you've made an error earlier.
IMPORTANT: when using nLite be very careful and move slowly, making sure to READ ALL DESCRIPTIONS and explore all options -- it's easy to skip or screw up something if you're not very careful.
rule of thumb: don't remove something if you don't know what it is or what the implications might be
* following the wizard, select your options. i would suggest the following:
remove components
unattended
options
patches
tweaks
build ISO
in the case of my thinkpad my hard drive will not be recognized by windows unless i integrate the driver for the SATA controller using nLite OR enter BIOS setup and put the controller in compatibility mode so i can install the driver from windows (after which BIOS needs to be changed again). integrating drivers will require extra reading on your part and is beyond what i wish to get into here, so, to make things easy if you're not comfortable doing this, just put your controller in compatibility mode if necessary and install the driver from within windows.
* following the wizard and hitting "next" as necessary, if you've selected the options above, nLite will pop-up a compatibility options window where you want to select what components you really need (prevents you from removing dependancies later).
* in the next step you'll remove unwanted components - the part i enjoy most. be careful what you remove! stuff in red is important. this is what i typically remove, give or take:

ClipBook Viewer
Defragmenter (replaced with JKDefragGUI)

IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service (replaced with ImgBurn)
Remote Registry
Secondary Logon
System Restore Service (bloated nonsense used for restoring viruses to their orgional state - better to reinstall)
Languages (i remove all - nLite will keep your default language)
as should be apparent from the above, security is already enhanced since many attack vectors were removed (OE, WMP, MSN, remote registry, system restore, etc., etc., etc.).
missing functionality is replaced by better, more functinal and more secure software
* for the "unattended setup" step, you can select many options, change default paths (Program Files), disable hibernate, configure network adapters and much more.
* next is "options" where you are presented with many more choices.
* next is "patches". here i would highly suggest turning off SFC (windows file protection) as this is an incredible annoyance for many people and will greatly increase the time required for your installation. furthermore, malicious folks and vendors that write drivers know how to get around this nonsense anyway.
* next is "tweaks" and then you'll finish up by building your installation. i typically cut the size of a default windows xp install by about 50%, but i'm a bit agressive with what i remove. also some of that space is used by 3rd party software to replace the components removed.
* if you are comfortable with virtual machine software, that'd be the way to test your shiny new installation ISO. if not, then get ready to take the plunge
when installed an nLite OS on my thinkpad for the first time (a day or 2 after i got it), i did a test install first - i kept the recovery partition in tact. once i got comfortable with installing the drivers and got everything working, i un-hid and formatted the recovery partition -- gone! you may want to do the same, though speaking from expierence i can tell you that it's rather trivial to get everything working on my T60 (though i do not have nor did i want a fingerprint reader, i would doubt it would be an issue to get working).
* once windows is up and running, there will be allot of broken stuff
some of the "Fn" keys will not work, some will (because the hardware is configured in BIOS). you'll need to install the drivers for the items that you want to work, and this is another area where i depart from the norm. here's some things i don't install and the reasons why (whenever possible, any hardware below is disabled in BIOS or device manager):
* easy eject utility - not needed/i don't use it anyway
* hotkey driver - bloated and sometimes buggy software that may corrupt OGL and DX full-screen display (games) and cause stop errors (BSOD)
* trackpoint - i don't use it, though it works anyway with limited functionality if not disabled in BIOS/device manager
* trusted platform module - yeah, well i don't trust it
* away manager - don't use it/lighter weight alternitives available
* keyboard customizer - not needed/i don't use it
* scroll lock indicator - not needed/i don't use it
* software installer - bloated mess/not needed (subscribe to the Lenovo RSS feed to be made aware of updates)
* thinkpad configuration package - i'll configure it myself, thanks
* thinkvantage access connectkions - bloated mess/slows boot time/not needed (better and lighter weight alternitives * available if you need this functionality)
* ultra-nav wizard - not needed
* bluetooth - i install the microsoft bluetooth stack (which is smaller and simpler) and have noticably less lag with bluetooth devices resuming from a standby state (mouse in particular)
* display drivers - i use the highly acclaimed and optimized Omega drivers.
for the drivers i do install, i install only the drivers, NOT the software (in other words i do not run the installer). i do this by extracting the installer using IZArc or Universal Extractor and using device manager to point the hardware to the extracted *.inf files. for me, there is only one device that comes up "unknown device" before drivers are installed (i forget which). the rest are named, so it's easy to tell what path to give them for the drivers. installing drivers for the unknown device is then simple a process of elimination, or you can use software to help identify the device.
::: the end :::
hack it 'till it BREAKS!

*bookmarked for desection*
I already see flaws, like turning off remote registry for example. Remote registry only has very limited access, and you can change the access, but why would you? You can see what it has access to by going into Control Panel > Administative Tools > Local Security Policy > > Local Polices > Security Options, then scroll a little more than half-way, and it's under the Network access box.
There are so many crack pot guides out there, that the only good advice is to look where they looked, and if you don't get it, and don't go though all of it, LEAVE IT ALONE! It only makes servicing the box at a later time a HUGE pain, and if it's in a business, it'll just be reimaged.
Keep this guy's disclaimer in mind at all times. Just do the easy ones to start, like run CCleaner, it basically does everything for you, and doesn't cause any errors (or as far as I know, and I use it just about every other day)

Howto: Dual-Booting Vista Home and Solaris

Hello.
I searched a lot of forums about this but found nothing. I finally managed to install Solaris on a computer running Windows Vista Home and post my experiences here for people having the same problem.
Known problem: When the MBR of a hard disk is altered (e.g. installing additional operating systems) Windows Vista will not boot any longer.
Reason: Windows Vista uses a checksum of the MBR. If the checksum is not correct it does not boot.
How can you install Solaris anyway?
I did it using the following steps (requires some C programming skills and a C compiler for Windows):
a) Make a copy of the MBR (e.g. by booting the Solaris DVD into the single user shell) onto an USB stick:
dd if=/dev/rdsk/cxtxdxp0 of=/usbdisk/origmbr bs=512 count=1b) Create the Solaris partition and install Solaris
c) Make a copy of the new MBR. This is done the same way as step "a)". Replace "origmbr" by "newmbr".
d) Restore the original MBR. This is done like step "a)" but "if=" and "of=" must be turned around (of=/dev ... if=/usbdisk ...).
(This causes the Solaris partition to be removed; you will not see it in fdisk any more; but do not panic - the data is not deleted)
e) Reboot - Vista will be booted
f) Write the new MBR to the disk. This is where you need a C program. The program must be executed using administrator rights:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
    HANDLE h;
    FILE *f;
    DWORD d;
    char a[512];
    h=CreateFile("\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive0",GENERIC_WRITE,0,0,
        OPEN_EXISTING,0,0);
    // Replace newmbr by the actual file name of the file
    // containing the new MBR
    f=fopen("newmbr","rb");
    fread(a,1,512,f);
    fclose(f);
    WriteFile(h,a,512,&d,NULL);
    CloseHandle(h);
}I also took bytes 0...0x1BD from the original MBR and only bytes 0x1BE...0x1FF (actual partition information) from the new MBR because I heared that Vista does not work with foreign MBR boot loaders.
g) Go to the computer administration (right-click of "Computer" in the start menu) and "administration" and go to the volume manager. Press F5 - now the volume manager will see the Solaris partition. Make any partition the active partition and change the active partition back to the Windows partition - now the checksum of the MBR will be re-calculated.
I do not know if this step is necessary because "diskpart.exe" should also re-calculate the checksum.
h) Start diskpart.exe with administrator rights. Make the Solaris partition (containing Grub) the active partition - now the computer boots GRUB and Vista can be booted.
Note:
The boot information in the system control as well as bcdedit.exe will only work if the Windows partition is active. Maybe the system recovery will also not work.
Martin

Hello.
The main problem is not the fact that GRUB does not boot - this could be easiely solved by overwriting the MBR by the original MBR (so changing from Windows to another OS must be done using a bootable CD or disk).
The problem is that creating an additional partition is not possible. I think if Microsoft wanted to "solve" this "problem" (forbid other OSs to be booted) they were not able to do this because many modern BIOSes create a hard disk partition for their data (e.g. hard disk encryption, finger print stuff etc.). Windows would either not be able to boot on such machines (not wanted by Microsoft) or not be able to recognize that another OS is installed (that can be booted at least by using a boot CD).
I think that Microsoft themself have no interest in forbidding other OSs to be booted. There are a lot of machines running Windows only as secondary OS (e.g. in airspace industry). Microsoft is not interested in not being able to sell a newer version of Windows to owners of these machines.

Error when changing the color of the dashboard and exporting to PowerPoint

Dear All,
I have been facing an issue with exporting my dashboard to PowerPoint.
I did a first version of the dashboard, exported to PowerPoint and sent to a client. All worked fine and the client could open and customize the dashboard. After that, I was asked to change the color of all lines and backgrounds of the dashboard, so that it would fit the product colors we are working with.
After this color change, the client cannot open the PowerPoint with the dashboard anymore because an error message appears saying that "Microsoft PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Some more details about the error are: AppName: powerpnt.exe; AppVer: 10.0.6842.0; ModName: ntdll.dll; ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180; Offset: 00010f29.
Any thoughts about what might be happening?
I'm working with Office 2007 and Xcelsius 2008 but I'm saving the ppt in the previous version because the client is working with Office 2003.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Vanessa

If you have the clip in your viewer window
to change the speed it is in themotion tab.
I also use the right click alot and run in to this problem.
You could just pull the clip to the end of your timeline,
adjust the speed,
then place the clip back where you want it.
But that is not an efficent work flow

Does latest Keynote export to Powerpoint? Does it do it well?

I am running the previous version, and exporting from it to Powerpoint is dicey. Does Keynote 08 do it any better, i.e., more accurately?
Thanks
Sean

No, as far as I've seen, exports to PowerPoint still requires a good deal of work if you have complex presentation. While it may improve, I don't think Keynote's export will ever be anywhere near as good as one of the PowerPoint clones (like in Neo Office) or PowerPoint itself.

Export to powerpoint not working for certain views

Hi All,
I am in the process of implementation of STVN 2.1 Pre EHP3 version of Nakisa OrgChart for one of my clients.
During testing, it is observed that export to powerpoint object is not working for the following views.
1. Condensed Org. Chart
2. Compressed OrgChart -Only works when we expand at least one position
3. Horizontal OrgChart - Condensed children-Only works when we expand at least one position
In all the other views the export to Powerpoint object are working fine.
Export of powerpoint image is working in all the scenarios. We are facing issue only with powerpoint object.
I have implemented Export Pack 3.0 for OrgChart.
J. Thomas

Hi Luke,
Thanks for the response.
Yes...I have installed SP1.0. I have also applied Export Pack 3.0.
The following features are working fine.
1) Export to PDF
2) Export to JPEG
3) Export to Powerpoint Image.
Export to Powerpoint Object is also working fine if the style is 'Vertical'. The issue is only in case of 'Condensed', 'Compressed' and 'Horizontal OrgChart - Condensed children' sytles. Here again, if we expand at least one position, the export is working.
The error message that is flashed for the user is the usual one....pasted below.
Object Variable or With Blovk Variable Not Set.

Printing and Exporting to Powerpoint

Hello,
I'm a relatively new user of Xcelsius and hoping someone could guide me through the problems I have come across.
First - Printing: I've exported the Dashboard I created using Adobe and now looking to print it. For some reason, when I print from the Adobe file the page always comes out blank. The only way for me to print the Dashboard is to do so from Xcelsius in the preview mode. How can I, and those receiving the Dashboard, print from the Adobe file?
Second - Exporting to Powerpoint: I have problems exporting to Powerpoint. I can export to Adobe and Word without issue; however, when I go to export to Powerpoint, all that appears is a blank grey canvas when Powerpoint initially opens. How can I export to Powerpoint so that it works on each try?
Third - Creating a slide show of Dashboards: I'm looking to create multiple Dashboards and have them displayed in one presentation to run in one slide show. I've tried to copy and paste different Dashboards into a presentation but it won't allow me to do so. Is there a way that I could have multiple Dashboards in one presentation and run continuously as a slide show?

Hi Jennifer,
you need to start slideshow to see the swf in the powerpoint.
If it still does not work, you can export your dashboard to swf and insert the swf manually into powerpoint slide. You can see this thread
Re: Export to PowerPoint
or this link
http://www.mix-fx.com/tutorials/importpowerpoint.html
for details on how to do it. The same way, you can export several swf files and insert each one in a separate powerpoint slide in your presentation.

Exports to PowerPoint not editable

My exports from Keynote to PowerPoint will play, but they crash whenever I try to edit them. Any suggestions?
I am also losing my builds of bullet points on the slides. They all appear at once. I have exported builds before without problem, so I am puzzled by this new quirk.

Export to PowerPoint without bullets

Whenever I run a presentation I want it without the annoying bullet blobs, so I remove these from my theme. However, when exporting to PowerPoint (2003) these bullets reappear. Is there any way to prevent this or have I got to start creating my presentations in PowerPoint again?
Thanks in advance

A few important things...
Leave the System/Library/Fonts folder alone, unless you really know what you're doing in there. Mess all you want in the other 3 locations, but leave that one alone (you can tank your system by removing things from that folder if you're not careful).
Also, it doesn't surprise me that some of the system fonts don't show in Fontbook, I think they're simply system level fonts that you can't normally use to type with.
Here's a quick rundown, just so you won't be confused
System>Library>Fonts
This is the system level folder, and you should always be careful of what you remove from this folder. Don't ever add anything to this folder...heck, just forget it's there.
Library>Fonts
This is the top level fonts folder. No matter how many users you set up on your machine, they will ALL always see this folder. On my machines, this is the folder I use for my fonts (well, now I use Font Agent Pro to manage them, so there's nothing in that folder).
User>Library>Fonts
THis is the user fonts folder. If you have more than one user, installing fonts in one users folder means the other users won't see them. I tend to empty this folder and move those fonts into the Library>fonts folder just so I don't have overlap (which the system doesn't seem to mind though).
hope that helps!

Problems with networking (Server: iMac - late '06, client - Vista Notebook)

I know this is probably a repeat of a question, but I am totally out of my league here and I've spent a total of about 30 hours trying to figure this out.
I am able to share a printer and internet connection on my network, but I can't get the network to share files. I am totally clueless and I've Googled everything under the Sun.
My iMac has a built-in Airport router (obviously), and the Notebook is an 8-month old Toshiba running Windows Vista.
Please, any assistance in the right direction would be helpful. First steps? I thought I'd be able to do it on my own, but I can't.

Enable file sharing in the "Sharing" preference pane in Leopard. Then click "Options" and click "Share files and folders using SMB" and enable yourself as the account that can access files via SMB. If both computers are on the same network, then to connect to the mac, in the vista address bar type "\\ip_address" where ip_address is the IP of the mac. You should be prompted for a login at this point.
Likewise, you should be able to browse for the PC on the mac Finder sidebar, but if not you can type cmd-K (or select "Connect to server..." from the "Go" menu) in the finder to bring up the "Connect to server..." window and use the address "smb://ip_address" to connect to the vista machine.

DPS Export for PowerPoint ver. 34

I have Office 2010 installed on my workstation. Also, have Adobe CC installed with the DPS tools installed. I downloaded DPS Export for PowerPoint ver. 34 and attempted to install several time and it keeps erroring out that there is not a version of PowerPoint installed on my workstation. Any advise? All installed apps up to date.

Just found the answer. I'm running a 64bit system and Office 2010 is also 64 bit. It seems the plugin only works on 32bit Office. At least according to what I'm finding. My workstation is Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

T-500 running Windows Vista - Error trying to install Service Pack 2

I just spent my entire Saturday trying unsuccessfully to install SP2 for Windows Vista on my T-500. My laptop has Vista Home Premium as the OS and is fully patched with SP1.
The message I get is "Error_not_found (0x80070490)" when I try to install SP2
I ran SFC /Scannow and got a message that there are corrupt components and a direction to C:\Windows\Logs\CBS that has a huge file I cannot comprehend.
I also ran the "System Update Readiness Tool" prior to trying to install SP2 with no apparent effect.
I have tried various approaches to this such as running System Restore and reapplying everything with reboots in-between.
I confirmed no spyware and also disabled my antivirus program (NOD) during updates with no effect.
Has anyone else out there had a similar problem who might be able to offer advice?
Thanks,
The Hoy

Are you sure you have the proper file downloaded for your system? x86 if you are running 32bit Vista and x64 if 64bit.
Other than that, you might try to use Windows Update. Note that you need to install all updates, possibly including IE8 before Windows Update will offer you SP2.
You might also try installing all updates from Windows Update and then running your stand alone SP2 installer, to see if that solves the problem.
