MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2007audio record interruption
I'm using PPT 2003 SP2. While recording audio using a mic during a slide presentation, occasionally my taskbar will pop up for 2-3 seconds and then go away. While this does not cause an interruption in the slide show, when I play the finished presentation back with the recorded audio, the slideshow shows the taskbar pop up and the narration starts over from the beginning of the slide. For some reason PPT is recording the taskbar popup and this interrupts the audio recording setting it back about 5 mins. Any ideas? I have run taskmanager to see what might be running in the background and besides the normal windows processes I also have Symantec running. > I'm using PPT 2003 SP2.

For some reason PPT is recording the taskbar popup Probably not, because PowerPoint doesn't record anything but the audio and the timings. It never records anything that happens on screen. More likely something in the presentation is causing the popup to occur during a screen show. If that's the case, it'll probably always happen at the same point in the show. What's on the slide where this happens? > interrupts the audio recording setting it back about 5 mins. Any ideas?

Symantec is a company that sells lots of different programs. Might want to mention which one this is. Someone may have experience with it. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ The slide presentation has nothing more than basic text with an ocasional image. I have disabled Symantec Anti-virus and it does not fix the problem. The interruption to powerpoint is intermittent. It never happens in the same place twice. Again, whenever the interuption occurs it resets the recorded audio to the beginning of the slide and when the slide transitions to the next slide, the audio gets cut off.

Ok, I finally discovered that there was a process from HP running in the background that checked for driver updates. Killing that process has fixed this entire problem. Thanks for your ideas. > Any chance you have an IM client running? > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > have run taskmanager to see what might be running in the background and > > besides the normal windows processes I also have Symantec running. |
