PPT won't load - Gets hung up

[Barb]

I try to pull up previous decks, PPT tries to load, but
gets hung up to the point that I have to restart. All my
other Office Suite applications work -- I can't even open
the PPT application - I can see my PPTs in quick view, so
I know they are there, there must be something wrong with
my application - I've reinstalled Windows and my office
suites --- Any suggestions would be great!

Hm. Start with the following, Barb. If these don't help, holler back and
we'll try something else.

1. Delete your *.PCB file. That's the PPT toolbar. It will recreate
itself when PPT is restarted.

2. Rename all *.PPA files to *.OLD. PPA files are PPT Addins. If PPT
starts up after you've renamed those to *.OLD, you can rename them one
at a time back to *.PPA to isolate the problem addin.
