An Introduction To
Microsoft PowerPoint
PowerPoint is the presentation creation application that
is included as part of the Microsoft Office package. It
has become one of the most widely used applications in
offices and homes but as with any software package it
can suffer problems for a number of reasons. One of the
most common reasons that you might suffer PowerPoint
program errors is because of a corrupt registry, or
because of missing or duplicated registry entries.
Because the registry contains vital information to the
successful use of executable files and programs, any
such corruption can lead to serious and fatal errors.
Typical PowerPoint
Problems
As well as receiving undistinguishable error messages
you are likely to suffer from a slow responding
PowerPoint program and you may also experience
difficulties in opening PowerPoint files. As well as
registry problems, these types of symptoms can also be
attributed to a corrupt PowerPoint file or even spyware
or viruses being harbored in essential areas of your
computer. Without knowing the exact error or problem you
are suffering it can be difficult to offer an exact
reason, however, that doesn’t mean the problem can’t be
resolved by following some simple steps.
Restarting Your
Computer
The first thing to do is to restart your computer. When
you open PowerPoint and even start your computer, the
Windows registry is called on to provide details of your
personal settings, computer settings, and software and
hardware settings. Sometimes, for various reasons, some
of these entries are read incorrectly or an incorrect
sequence is used. In a lot of cases this can be resolved
simply by restarting your computer and allowing it a
second chance at getting things right. Make sure you
close all applications, especially PowerPoint, before
commencing a restart and always save your work.
Open PowerPoint
Directly From Executable File
Open PowerPoint directly from the executable file and
not from any shortcuts or links to the program itself.
It could be that the shortcut path that you use has
become corrupt and in this case the only way to resolve
the problem, apart from keep navigating to the
PowerPoint executable file, is to delete the old
shortcut and create a new one.
Update PowerPoint
And Your Windows Operating System
Check the Microsoft site for any updates to both
PowerPoint and your operating system. Make sure that all
of the latest updates and patches are downloaded and
installed, restart your computer and attempt to open
PowerPoint. If other users have reported the same
problem then Microsoft are likely to have released an
update that combats this problem.
Check For Viruses
And Spyware
Run a virus scan and an anti-spyware scan to determine
whether you have any infections on your computer. These
not only reside within the registry of your computer but
also may have directly corrupted your PowerPoint program
or files. If you are suffering a specific problem within
the PowerPoint program when performing one particular
task then there is a chance that you have problems in
your registry. Spyware or viruses often cause this.
Allow your anti-spyware and anti-virus to run completely
and fix any problems it finds. Restart your computer and
attempt to open PowerPoint again. You might also
consider running a registry cleaner at this point to
clean up any mess that is commonly left behind by such
activity.
Using A Registry
Cleaner
Registry cleaners can identify and cure any problems
found within the Windows registry. If you do have any
corrupt entries then a good registry cleaner will be
able to find these problems and inform you of their
existence. You will also be given the opportunity to
clean the registry entry. Perform a full scan of your
registry and clean any problem entries it finds. Restart
your computer and once again attempt to start
PowerPoint.
Conclusion And One
Final Step To Attempt
PowerPoint is a useful business tool, used for creating
presentations. However, as with any software application
it can suffer from errors and problems. While some of
these errors can be cured by restarting your computer or
downloading the required patches and updates this isn’t
necessarily the case with all problems. Following the
steps above, however, should lead to a cure regardless
of the reason for the problem. If all else fails,
completely uninstall PowerPoint and reinstall it from
your Microsoft Office disk.
