Problems with Powerpoint 2008 Presenter Mode

Hi, I am trying to use Powerpoint 2008 in Presenter Mode so that I can practice with my notes and time myself, but I can't start the timer because any time I move the mouse, it exits presenter mode and enters the basic slideshow. Any tips?
I last used presenter mode a few months ago, and didn't have any problems. I don't know what I could have changed since then to cause this, unless it has something to do with recent software updates?

There is a MS Office forum run by Microsoft. The URL to that forum is:

  • PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com addin' add-in.

    I've installed Adobe Presenter V7.0.7 Build 7746. When I open an existing PowerPoint file and try and use Presenter, I get the following error: PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com addin' add-in. If you have seen this message multiple times, you should disable this add-in and check to see if an update is available. Do you want to disable this add-in?
    No, I don't want to disable it. When I click No, PowerPoint stops working. I get a message that says: Microsoft PowerPoint has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Widows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. My only choice is to click the Close program button.
    When I open the PPT file again, I get the same "experienced a serious problem" message. If anyone has a solution to this, I'd appreciate knowing what it is. It took me a while just to get the Presenter option to appear in the PowerPoint toolbar. Now that I have it, it's not working.
    Thank you!

    Thank you for your quick reply. Here are the answers to your questions.
    1. The file I'm having issues with was not created using any version of Presenter. It is simply a PowerPoint file.
    2. The file is a PPT not PPTX.
    3. I am running Windows7 and Office 2010.
    I think I might have found the solution to the problem. I opened the PPT file and saved it as a PPTX file. Then I clicked the Presenter option in the PowerPoint toolbar and was able to select different Presenter options with no issues. I opened other PPTX files and I did not get the error window stating 'PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com addin' add-in'.
    This seems to work. So, it appears that any PPT file needs to be saved as a PPTX file before using Presenter. If you have another solution that I might be able to keep in my back pocket (in case this happens again and what I did does not work), then please answer. Otherwise, I'm good now.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    you have posted the records in the R/3 side.
    But the V3 jobs have to run for the records to be available for the delta in RSA7.
    Once your postings are done.The V3 jobs are scheduled,mostly it runs on an hourly basis.
    This is what loads these new records to RSA7..
    Wait for a while until the V3 jobs run.then Check RSA7 if there are any LUWs then run your delta ..it should pick records.
    Regards,

  • Problems with PowerPoint not loading graphics correctly/fully

    Has anyone else had problems with PowerPoint?

    Please see this technote on unsupported features of Powerpoint files when uploaded to Adobe Connect:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404463.html
    Understand that when you use a Share Document Pod and choose to upload the PPT or PPTX file that you are then converting that file to an Adobe Flash file so that it can be streamed to attendee desktops.  It does not remain in it's original format.  Not everything will convert exactly as planned so be prepared.  You always have the option of screen sharing instead of using the share pod option.
    Also read this technote that makes suggestions for work arounds:

  • Problems with EXCELSIUS 2008 after upgrading MS-Office 2007 to SP2 ??

    Hi Community,
    has anyone experienced how EXCELSIUS 2008 works after upgrading MS-Office 2007 to the new SP2 ??
    (including "2007 MS Office Suite Service Pack2 (SP2)" and "MS Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 2 (SP2)" and "Security Updates for MS Office System 2007 (KB969618)" and "Update for 2007 MS Office System (KB967642)")
    We're going to upgrade our PCs and need to know about any possible trouble/problems with our mission critical applications (and EXCELSIUS was identified as one of them
    Thanks in advance ...
    Peter

    I'm not sure if MS Office 2007 SP2 will actually cause any problem, but according to the supported platform list for Xcelsius 2008 SP1, MS Office 2007 SP2 is not listed (Office 2007 is).
    Other Tools
    =============
    Office      (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Word)
    Windows Office 2003                  
    Windows Office 2003  SP1               
    Windows Office 2003  SP2               
    Windows Office XP  SP3
    Windows Office 2007
    Fix packs typically do not include additional platform support, so I believe that 2007 SP2 is still not supported as of FP3. I'm pretty sure though that Office 2007 SP2 will be supported in the very near future...

  • Problem with rotation and landscape mode in iOS 8

    From start of iOS 8 I have got problem with rotation in my iPhone 5S 32GB as well as in my iPad mini retina 32GB. Automatical rotation to landscape mode is not working correctly. For example if you take the phone or tablet to landscape mode in base display and tap to Safari, Mail, Messages, the app will start but stay in normal mode, not landscape. Then you have to back the phone to normal portrait mode and back to landscape and only then the phone do the landscape mode. I have never seen this problem in iOS 7 or older.
    Could you help me anyone with this problem? Or is the problem generally in iOS 8.
    Thanks a lot
    Jakub

    Brian, thanks, but it's not a rotation lock issue - at least not relating to the rotation lock setting. It's just a general use setting. Right now i have my iPhone propped in landscape mode. If I now hit the home button, essentially returning to a portrait setting though my phone is still positioned in landscape, then open any other app that supports landscape, that app WILL NOT orient itself to landscape mode. It will stay in portrait mode. The phone has to be physically oriented to portrait, then back to landscape for the app to register landscape mode properly. This is a glitch, and not a rotation lock issue. it ought to be noted that this was not an issue in iOS 7 or any previous iteration.

  • PDF printer has a problem with Safari in "Reader" mode in Windows7

    As shown in the image above. When I try to use the PDF printer to print out a web page in Safari "Reader" mode, the lines near the bottom of each page get squeezed like this. There is no problem with XPS printer. I guess this problem is because of some incorrect settings in Safari or the PDF printer?
    My system is Windows 7 Pro. I am using Acrobat X Pro. The page I am trying to print is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_band_structure. This problem only happens when the webpage is adjusted into "Reader" mode in Safari.

    Many thanks for your reply!
    I am sorry, I did not make my question clear. I would like to save some web pages only in "Reader" mode, because in this mode all the advertisements are filtered out and the pages look much nicer than the origional layout.
    I first let Safari to active "Reader" by clicking "Reader" button.
    Then I click "Print" button and select Adobe PDF as the printer.
    The problem is the PDF file has something wrong (shown above), and I would like to know how to avoid this problem.

  • Problem with printing in character mode

    Hi
    I got a genuine problem in printing continous payslips using character mode with a TALLY6050 printer.
    I guess there is a problem with the page setup when i try to print via windows. using different sizes of paper (Letter, A4, A3), the printed data is shifting from one page to another but the shift is following a same trend.
    i tried to put one payslip per page using page breaks, but in vain. Three payslips are being printed on one page when viewed in the print perview.
    Can anyone suggest any help or tips so that i can solve this problem?
    Thanks for your help
    Bhavish

    Thanks for your response.  I went ahead and filed a Correction Action Request for your orignal issue, since I was able to reproduce the same behavior when I ran your VI.  The solution of printing the front panel of a subVI displaying the same graph is a workaround for this problem. Please look at the following KnowledgeBase for more details on how to do this.  Hope this helps!

  • Problem with Entourage 2008 for Mac

    I don't know if this is the right forum, if not please direct me to where I should go. I have Entourage 2008 for Mac. I continue to have a problem with the font reverting back to Calibri when I am composing an email. I've set up in Preferences the font I want, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions? Other than give up entirely on Apple and go back to a PC????? The whole Office 2008 program is horrible and whoever designed it at Apple should be fired.

  • Problems with environments and transactional mode in the Python API

    Hello everyone,
    I have been having problems with the Python API, and I wonder if anyone can comment? I am using DB XML version 2.2.13, with python 2.3 (RedHat linux WS 4.0) and python 2.4 (SuSE 10.1) with identical results. I started with a simple example:
    #!/usr/bin/python
    """XPath example from http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp
    ported to DbXML
    from bsddb3.db import *
    from dbxml import *
    books = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <bookstore>
      [xml data omitted for brevity]
    </bookstore>"""
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        conFlags = DB_CREATE | DB_NOMMAP
        myMgr = XmlManager()
        myMgr.setDefaultContainerFlags(conFlags)
        myMgr.setDefaultContainerType( XmlContainer.NodeContainer)
        uc = myMgr.createUpdateContext()
        container = myMgr.createContainer("books.dbxml")
        container.putDocument("books.xml", books, uc)So far, so good - this works, and creates a container books.dbxml that I can open and query. Next, I try to instantiate the XmlManager using an environment:
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        envFlags = DB_CREATE | DB_PRIVATE
        conFlags = DB_CREATE | DB_EXCL | DB_NOMMAP
        myEnv = DBEnv()
        myEnv.open("/home/pkeller/dbxml_tests", envFlags, 0)
        myMgr = XmlManager(myEnv, DBXML_ADOPT_DBENV)
        myMgr.setDefaultContainerFlags(conFlags)
        myMgr.setDefaultContainerType( XmlContainer.NodeContainer)
        uc = myMgr.createUpdateContext()
        container = myMgr.createContainer("books.dbxml")
        container.putDocument("books.xml", books, uc)This fails with the following output:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "w3school_xpath_c2.py", line 60, in ?
        container = myMgr.createContainer("books.dbxml")
      File "/scratch_bernoulli/pkeller/dbxml/install/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbxml.py", line 125, in createContainer
        def createContainer(*args): return dbxml.XmlManagercreateContainer(*args)
    RuntimeError: Error: Invalid argument
    Segmentation faultA bit odd - I can't find anything in the docs about the required arguments to XmlManager.createContainer being different if an environment has been used explicitly.
    Anyway, I persevered (my aim being to use transactional mode in Python). Changing the environment and container flags like so:
        envFlags = DB_CREATE  | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_TXN | DB_PRIVATE
        conFlags = DB_CREATE  | DB_EXCL | DBXML_TRANSACTIONAL | DB_NOMMAPThis change allowed the script to run, outputting the single classic line:
    Segmentation fault(the C++ API docs at http://www.sleepycat.com/xmldocs/gsg_xml/cxx/transaction.html#initializetransaction are incorrect by the way - there is no flag DB_TRANSACTIONAL).
    In spite of the segfault, the file "books.dbxml" was produced and could be queried by another application. A transaction log file "log.0000000001" was also written (10485760 bytes long).
    Running this last example again with "python -v" showed that the segfault was being produced during the python's cleanup phase:
    # clear __builtin__._
    # clear sys.path
    # clear sys.argv
    # clear sys.ps1
    # clear sys.ps2
    # clear sys.exitfunc
    # clear sys.exc_type
    # clear sys.exc_value
    # clear sys.exc_traceback
    # clear sys.last_type
    # clear sys.last_value
    # clear sys.last_traceback
    # clear sys.path_hooks
    # clear sys.path_importer_cache
    # clear sys.meta_path
    # restore sys.stdin
    # restore sys.stdout
    # restore sys.stderr
    # cleanup __main__
    Segmentation faultCan anyone clarify what is going on? I had been hoping to deploy DB XML as an alternative to something more admin-heavy, but with this behaviour that would be hard to justify. A dirty exit from Python means that no-one will consider trusting their data to this engine (or am I doing something wrong?).
    Regards,
    Peter.

    Peter,
    Your first failure -- invalid argument -- was due to an invalid combination of
    flags to DBEnv.open(). Along with DB_CREATE you need at least DB_INIT_MPOOL.
    As you can see, it worked once you added more flags.
    The second, cleanup problem (segmentation fault) is the result of out of order
    destruction of objects. This is fixed in the next release (later this year), but
    you can work around it by ensuring that your XmlContainer and XmlManager
    objects are deleted/cleaned up before the DBEnv object.
    Python will cleanup in reverse order of creation, unless you perform explicit
    deletions, which is also fine (e.g. del container, del myMgr).
    Explicit deletion is always safe.
    Regards,
    George

  • T60 Docing station problems with PowerPoint 2007

    For some reason when i am editing powerpoint slides (specirfically resizing or moving pictures) the power drops out on all USB peripherals for a matter of seconds and then comes backl... which makes the resize quite difficult! Im using a Lenovo USB mouse and Keyboard that came withthe docking station.
    If i use the laptop it doesnt happen, and if i use the USBs on the machien itself it doesnt happen...
    it is leaving me very confused....

    With my T60 (2007 CTO) in the dock....When i run PPT 07 and try to resize any graphics, the mouse is erratic and the USB sound goes on and off...also the "battery" icon flashes....No such problems with graphics in word 07
    If I plug directly into the usb port on the machine (while docked-no problem).  Also works fine undocked.
    my R60 and T43 are fine...any thoughts anyone??
    thanks

  • Problems with Internet in sleeping mode

     Hello,
    I have a such problem. Approximatly in 10 min after starting sleeping mode my phone can not receive incoming calls from Skype and Viber. There is no problem in a few min after sleeping mode or when a screen is on. I have this problem whenever wi-fi or 3 G connection is. When the screen is on after that I receive messages about missing calls. Swithing stamina off, reinstalling of phone's soft doesn't help. Wi-fi is always on in settings, mobile transfer is on too. Help me, please.

    Thanks Alexdon for trying to help me (I've changed my account, because forgot pass and service for changing pass didn't work (so an account "Dietor can be deleted"). Solving my problem was setting up other firmware (D5503 14.2.A.1.114).
    When I set up firmware ...757 through Flashtool, the problem repeated (it was regardless Stamina off or on).
    Will settting up of this firmware per PC Companion help? Does problem with battery drain in last firware exist?
