PowerPoint 2003 Presentation Crashes On Saving
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.
