Hi DL

Total memory is 37.2 GB and free space is 12 GB...

Trying to open Powerpoint does not work... I double click on the icon, the
lights go on, then off and no programme appears, only the 'encountered a
problem and needs to close, sorry for inconvenience..!!' - click yes and an
error report will be sent to Microsoft'.... but no mention of how to fix the
problem!

In Power Point, Help>About what version does it show?

Hi,
I have purchased Office Enterprise 2007 and have installed it onto my
laptop. At the end of the installation process, a message appeared to say
that it had installed properly. When I click on the icons, there is
activity
on the hard drive (light flickers), but the program does not open and the
hard drive light goes off. The only program that results in a further
action
is powerpoint. After the light goes out, the message box saying that it
has
encountered an error and requests that a report is sent to Microsoft....

I have uninstalled the Works program that came with the laptop and have
uninstalled and reinstalled the Office program since.

I thought that there was an issue with the memory (ie a huge itunes
library
and office program left a very small amount of memory available). I have
bought an external hard drive and moved the itunes library to that to free
up
space. Further to this, I have tried the 'fix' program that comes up when
you put the office disk in the dvd drive, defragmented the hard disk.

I am not a computer officianado and am struggling to think of what else I
can do to make it work!!

Any suggestions??

Cheers
