Problem when applying slide layout change in PPT 2004

[Paul R]

Just installed Office 2004 and when i run PowerPoint and try to apply
a new slide layout style, PowerPoint crashes, asks if I want to send a
report to M$ and then restarts.

Anybody else seen this? I looked on support.microsoft.com and found
nothing. As a side issue I also have a problem with Entourage 2004
connecting to my Exchange 2003 server - it takes an awful long time to
synchronise when Entourage v.X was almost immediate!

Thanks in advance for your help!
