As unpaid volunteers, we're happy to help, but we need you to help us help you.

First, please try the troubleshooting tips here:

• Don't use PowerPoint for anything serious until you've done this
• General problem-solving procedures

If that didn't help, we'll need more information, so here's what we'd like you to do:

1. Select the text below, from "PROBLEM REPORT" to the end of the page
2. Choose Edit, Copy or press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text
3. Start Notepad (Start, Settings, Accessories, Notepad)
4. Choose Edit, Paste or press Ctrl+V to paste the text into Notepad
5. Now add the specific information about the problem you're having and the system you're having it on
6. Save the Notepad file, then select all the text and choose Edit, Copy or press Ctrl+C to copy it.
7. Post a reply to the newsgroup message that sent you here (or post a new message). In the body of the message, press Ctrl+V to paste your information into the message. Send the message to the newsgroup.
