Every time I open a powerpoint presentation, or try to open power point, it
crashes. Is there any thing that I can do to make this stop? Thanks for your
help

I would start by deleting the *.PCB file. This is the toolbar. PPT will
recreate it when it starts next. You will lose any customizations you've
made to your PPT toolbars, though.

I would next search out and uninstall any and all add-ins. If PPT opens
properly, you can reinstall them one at a time until you find the problem
add-in.

If you are using PPT 2007, then run Office Diagnostics from Windows Control
Panel, Add/Remove Programs.
