PowerPoint Crashing

[AberdeenAl]

I've been having a problem with PowerPoint for some months now. I can edit and save .ppt files but PowerPoint crashes every time I go to close it down. The error message is totally useless ("a problem caused the program to stop working correctly" - yes I know!!). For the same reason I can't view .pps files at all.

I have MS Office 2007 and have tried uninstalling and re-installing the full set of software but nothing has changed. I can't think that I installed any other new software around the same time that PowerPoint started giving me this problem.

Anyone have any clues? Any help much appreciated.

There were a few google hits concerning this error - most seemed to centre around an incompatibility between printer drivers & powerpoint, eg:-

Scroll to bottom of link and you'll get the drift.

For errors like these, I would also run CCleaner to clean up all your temporary files and fix any registry issues.
