Recent ppt issues

Asked by Shahid

It would seem some recent Windows updates have broken my powerpoint 2003 install on my clients. Specifically what happens is that I have a layout with 2 regions, 1 powerpoint show, 1 scrolling text (up). During testing, before I rolled these clients out, they ran for days in my office without so much as a hiccup. I install them to their locations, they run automatic updates (our security nazi insists on this), and then the scrolling text stops responding and PPT process starts eating up CPU cycles.

This has started happening across all levels of machines. Mostly I'm curious of others have started having the same issue or can recreate this error so I know I'm not losing my mind...

Version 1.0.0 final client/server

Hi Shahid.

I have my clients hooked up to a WSUS server and the updates have never caused an issue. about the only thing we hold back is IE8. Has it installed that?
