PowerPoint 2007: Blank out presentation does not work

[Franz]

Hi,

When I blank out my presentation (using the "b"-key) with PowerPoint
2007 I have troubles with returning to the presentation content.

Blanking the presentation works, but if I press b again to return to
the presentation content only parts are displayed, the rest remains
black.

Does anyone of you experience this issue, too?

Thanks,
Franz

Works just fine for me. Is your PowerPoint 2007 up to date with the latest
service Pack?

Hi,

yes, all necessary updates are installed (according to Windows Update
(Microsoft Update is enabled). It works fine on another PC too, but
not on this Notebook. Latest NVIDA drivers are installed...

Thanks,
Franz

That is bizarre. I have not heard of this happening before. I realize this
is way out and sounds strange. but try setting the default printer to a
windows printer. This is known to clear up some really weird goings on.

Hi,

I set the default printer to "Microsoft XPS Document Writer", but this
didn't help. I've just reinstalled the lastest graphics driver and I
am currently downloading Office 2007 Service Pack 1, to reapply
this... maybe this helps..

the strange thing is, that only elements are visible after returning
from black, which were not displayed initial...

strange strange...

Reapplying Office Service Pack is not possible...
I could figure out, that this issue seems to be a user specific one...
If I run PowerPoint as my admin user it works...

so I deleted the Registry Key (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office)... now
it's working.
