subject: Powerpoint 2003 Presentation Crashes On Saving [print this page]

Being an extensive user of Microsoft PowerPoint, you are aware of

the amount of efforts which goes in making a presentation. After

toiling, you would never want a presentation to crash or disappear in

an unusual manner. Sadly, this is not an imaginary situation.

PowerPoint presentations often experience crash and leave data

inaccessible, thus rendering you helpless. Frequent crashes and

appearance of error messages are reasons enough to predict that a

presentation in question is corrupt. A corrupt presentation exhibits

strange behavior and leads to serious data loss problems. Data loss,

in these situations, can be tackled easily if you have an updated and

clean backup copy. But, in case the backup copy is not valid or

itself corrupt, you have no better way than choosing a third-party

PowerPoint recovery software.

Consider a situation, wherein, you have a PowerPoint 2003

presentation packed with graphics and charts - to be presented in a

college seminar. A day before the D-day, you make some changes to the

original text and add some more inputs to make the presentation all

the more compelling. While you try and save the presentation, the

following error message occurs and startles you:

PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close.

We are sorry for the
inconvenience.

This error occurs with the following signature:
AppName:

powerpnt.exe App ver 11.0.8227.0 AppStamp: 486d6096
ModName:

ixodma32.dll ModVer: 5.1.2003.628 ModStamp: 3efe39e4
fDebug:0

Offset: 0015473

When you try and open the file again, you find out that it is not

reflecting the changes you made the last time. Additionally, the

presentation contains some junk characters and its formatting is

screwed up completely.

Cause

The reasons behind the unexpected behavior could be the following:

Presence of an add-in (s) which is prompting the PowerPoint

to behave in an abrupt manner

Corruption of the presentation file due to reasons like power

fluctuations, application malfunction, virus attacks and others

Resolution

The following PPT recovery steps must be considered to

resolve the problem:

Disable any add-in (s)

If you suspect the file to be corrupt, you can insert the

slides into a blank presentation, and then apply the damaged

presentation as a template.

Alternatively, you can copy and paste the slides from the

damaged presentation to a new blank presentation.

If you detect severe corruption, the only way to recover the

data is saving the presentation in RTF format

If nothing seems working, then you should immediately grab a

PowerPoint

recovery application.

For safe and best repairing results, you should trust Stellar

Phoenix PowerPoint Recovery. The application repairs and effectively

recovers damaged/corrupt presentations created with Microsoft

PowerPoint 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000. The PPT

recovery software retrieves headers, footers, images, text

and all other components
