Re: PowerPoint crashes everytime I use Photo Album to insert photo

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Interesting about this problem.

I have been using the Photo Album insert successfully for over a year on
this Dell 8600 and now just today, it begins to crash at the creation stage.
Resized images and tried again, no luck. D & R did not correct problem.

This happened on my previous machine too... could never get that function to
work again.

Hmmm
