Windows 7 Starter + PowerPoint 2010

[ForsakenMage]

For the past couple of weeks my professor has been having issues with using Powerpoint 2010 on Windows 7 Starter on her netbook. The file itself is made on Microsoft Office 1997-2003 Powerpoint file and is transferred over from a MacBook. She has a signature animation on each of the slides, but this does not interfere with the presentation during class while clicking through the presentation. However, when she leaves the presentation idle while lecturing, the presentation will completely freeze and the only way she can get out of it would be to go to task manager and switch out of it.

 

In addition to using Powerpoint 2010, she is using a program called iClicker to click through the slides in the presentation.

 

Tried several things to fix it, including saving the files in the updated format but no success. We've also updated the iClicker software, but no success there either.

 

Any suggestions on what else can be done? Very much appreciated!

Starter is a giant scam to get you to upgrade. Unfortunately almost all netbooks come with it.

 

Try starting a new document, and copying the slides over.
