Hi

I have a strange Powerpoint 2000 problem.............

A user clicks on Insert, Picture, From File, chooses a jpeg from a 'Details'
view of a particular folder and all she gets is a large 'invisible' box that
stretches aroud the powerpoint slide, with a red cross in the top left-hand
corner.

But, if she clicks on Insert, Picture, From File, and chooses a jpeg from a
'Preview' view of the same folder, and then clicks insert, the picture is
inserted correctly.

This is only happening on certain files in various folders.

The weird thing is is that everyone else in the building is able to insert
pictures correctly.

They all use PowerPoint 2000.

Any ideas?

If I tried a full uninstall and reinstall (+ SP's) would this resolve it?  
Or do you think it is more of a Windows issue than an application issue?

Help!!

I think PPT 2000 has Help | Detect and Repair. You might try that, rather
than going to the trouble of reinstalling (which usually doesn't fix this
kind of stuff anyway).

Is there anything specific about the pictures that cause the problem?

Try changing hardware acceleration on the users machine.
