Power-point Very Slow Screen Updates?
Oct 27, 2009
I've installed my copy of Office XP (which works perfectly well for my purposes and I don't need any new features of later versions!), and Powerpoint 2002 runs very slowly re-drawing the screen. After selecting a "Slide design" from the view menu, it takes a two or three seconds to redraw the background if I switch between slides, type some text in a text box over the background, resize the window etc. (No delays when switching slides during a slide show though.)It works very fast on my old laptop running XP. My Windows 7 desktop computer is a Core Duo E7400 with a GTX260 graphics card (latest drivers installed) so should be about 10x faster than the laptop!

My computer was turned off during the update process and I am getting the blue screen. After launching the start-up repair I am told the problem cannot be solved although there is a patch preventing the system from starting. My registry files precede the date the problem occurred, I have tried to restore but there is no restore point, I cannot start in safe mode. I have launched bootrec.exe and ran FixMbrFixBoot and also RebuildBcd and none have worked. I know I will probably have to go the long way around and pull the data from my disc and do a clean install but just wondered if any of you Techsperts had a quicker fix so I can spend the rest of my life in awe at your magnificence?

I have Office 2002 on Win 7 Pro - 64 bit.A friend gave me his short story to read. It was a docx. I double-clicked it. (I thought I had already put on a limited-purpose reader, but that was at work and for Win XP) Something installed too fast for me to make out what it was - I thought it was a compatibility pack, but when I tried to work on a Power Point project this morning it came up in Power Point 2007 READ ONLY.How do I get my Power Point 2002 back?

I will occasionally get a power point attachment and cannot open it. I have my associations set to Microsoft's Power Point software. I have also tried changing the association to Open Office's Impress and this doesn't work as well.

Cannot open a PPS file using Power Point 2007
I get the following error message
The presentation cannot be opened. Your antivirus program may prevent you from opening the presentation. To fix this problem, make sure your antivirus program is current and working correctly. If the problem persists and the presentation is from someone that you trust, turn off your antivirus program, and then try to open the presentation again. If you do this, make sure you turn on your antivirus program again after you open the presentation.

I now have 3 Windows 7 PCs (and a few XPs I want to update), and want a couple more, but updating & keeping them that way with my limited-bandwidth/speed ISP is a real challenge! I've tried to utilize the MS Update Catalog so that I only have to download individual updates Once, and I recently found Brink's excellent tutorial on getting a download directly from the WU dialog, but still this is such a chore, I assume that professionals make updating easier by using MS Update Catalog and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) but I don't run Windows Server and don't want to buy Server and build another computer just for this task.

I mistakenly associated Windows Media Player with opening an email with a Power Point attachment. When I try to open the attachment, I'm told WMP can't open it. I have Power Point Viewer (which can open the attachment), installed but I can't find a way to delete the WMP association. The .eml file type (email) is being opened by Thunderbird, my email client.

I am using the x64 version. I am having the problem that Power Point Viewer doesn't work. I don't want to buy or install Microsoft Office 2010 only for the Power Point Viewer because I really don't like it, don't use it and it takes huge space in my hard disk.Same about Open Office. I have been using the small application of Microsoft to run the power points. Just the viewer.Is anyone with x64 running the power point viewer? Does anyone know of a small sized alternative?

I have a Dell V313w printer and using PowerPoint (office 2010), when I select "Print on both sides" it prints out on one side. I am unable to figure out why it does this. Any advice would help so that I don't have to print out 20 pages a week for lecture notes for a class.

My computer hasn't been able to finish it updates. After it updates, I restart and it says failure to update and converts back to previous configuration. Also, my computer has been performing a lot slower than normal.

So I have a Dell XPS Studio 1645 laptop. It's been a solid all-purpose machine for the most part. I like to game on it when I can and it holds up pretty well, running Starcraft 2 on medium/high settings, Batman Arkham Asylum on medium/high, and League of Legends maxed outI get pretty picky when it comes to frames per second (FPS). If there's a slowdown (less than 35) I like to know why and usually take steps to remedy as soon as I can. A few months ago I realized that my FPS were starting to take a real hit. At the time it seemed to creep up on me, so I didn't really notice it at first. After it was pretty apparent there was an issue with all the programs/games I was running, I decided to do a system restore. This fixed the problem and I recognized it had originated with some recent Windows 7 updates that I had set to "auto-update." Since some time had passed, I wasn't sure of the exact update, so I just turned the updates off and resumed my activities as normal.
A few months later, I've had some problems with my email security. My provider mentioned that out-dated operating systems can be a source of this issue. So reluctantly, I've turned "auto-update" back on and have fully updated my Windows 7 operating system. But as before, the slowdowns are back. My FPS are at a crawl and even my internet browser seems to be slower.

Basically, my pointer keeps pushing to a certain point on my screen. It is not pushing in a direction but to a certain point on my screen. It does not do this during safe mode. It also does it during certain times during gaming, where I discovered the problem. For example, it didn't do this when I was placing a turret gun, during the game, but, did so when I tried to make the turret face a certain way and I could only make it face one way. I am doing to do virus scans. It is probably a virus because earlier that day when I tried to download something I accidentally used a download link inside a pop.

I Can't seem to figure out what went wrong. I think it needs a Device driver update of some sort. I am running Windows 7 64 bit off of an original MS DVD that was installed only about a month ago. I built this system a little over a year ago. I have since pulled some memory sticks (sent for RMA) as they gave me random BSOD because of memory errors. When I try to install updates it gives me a BSOD. I have tried to do a system restore but it says it is unable to complete. Any Ideas? See attachment for dump files.

This HP computer is running Windows 7 - 64 Professional, version 6.1, build 7601 Service Pack 1. The last time I had a normal start up was last Saturday after turning off all the computers and unplugging due to thunderstorm activity in the area. Yesterday morning, Sunday, we had 4-5 momentary power outages where the electricity pretty much flickered a few times, then stayed on. This computer did start up, but the start up process took approx 20 minutes.
I restored the computer to 3 days prior with no noticeable difference, ran defrag with no noticeable difference, and ran chkdsk, which did make a difference. The 1st start after the chkdsk was a normal quick start, then subsequent starts take approx 3-4 minutes, so it has slowed down again, but not near as bad as the original problem. The start up goes as follows:
1.) The normal Blue HP start up screen for approx 20 seconds, then,
2.) The windows graphic with the changing colored "windows" on the black background, then,
3.) a completely black screen for approx 2-3 minutes with minimal flashing of the HDD light, then
4.) proceed to Welcome to Windows screen where everything loads and the HDD light is pretty much steady. Within 30-40 seconds of getting to this point the normal desktop is up, icons are loaded, and computer is ready to use.
My step 3 noted above - the black screen, is usually 15-20 seconds max, so it seems whatever the hangup is is occuring during that time. After the start up is complete everything works normally. There isn't any abnormal use of memory or CPU usage.

Replaced my VGA cable with and HDMI cable because screen wouldn't leave power save mode due to lack of communication between tower and screen. HDMI solves that. Now I have no internet connection. No signs of life. Cable guy comes over plugs his laptop into the..box thing where the internet comes from... says the internet is working fine must be your computer and he leaves. So now that my screen is working I can trouble shoot - can't find a network adapter. I have no idea what that means, and it is not listed anywhere on my control panel list of drivers and things. Tried to reinstall whatever that is.. which is hard when your just guessing and clicking things. Bottom line is after using the drivers and devices disc and reinstalling everything that said "network" in the title there is still no signs of life. I don't have wireless so the whole adapter thing isn't making sense either.

I recently installed some updates in my Proline notebook, but after installing the 30 percent, it failed to restart, with the screen showing nothing (as if it's off). I then tried to restore it to an earlier time via safe mode but the restore point available is only the one as at the time of the update. I tried to create a restore point, but when i tried, i cannot even find system protection when i looked for it and it directs me to system properties where my computer's description is blank and it cannot be edited.Even the updates cannot be uninstalled via safe mode.Is there no other options i can try in order to start my laptop normally again?

For the past day windows wants to install the same 4 updates over and over, I have windows update set to download and let me choose when to install.
I can't understand why I even need them, as I uninstalled net framework. Notice how the update at 8:17 AM., KB2656368, is the same as one of the 4 updates installed at 7:47 PM. Windows wants to install the same four kb files again.How do I stop this?
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2656368)
Installation date: 6/15/2012 7:47 PM
Installation status: Successful

My computer recently told me to install some updates, I usually don't bother and just leave it but this time I installed them. However, after the updates had installed, I went back to my laptop to see that the screen resolution is 'stretched'. I have done the following
- Set it to the highest resolution
- Made icons small instead of medium
The highest resolution it will allow is 1204 x 768 but this is not what it used to be. I have no idea what the old setting was but I do know this look isn't right. I also started my computer in safe mode, and it had a higher resolution when I edited the settings that was the right one but when I restarted my laptop, it went back to the smaller size. Web pages don't look right and there is always a horizontal scroll bar (no my page isn't zoomed in, the toolbars, tabs everything is different).
