SlideShowWindow Error Message

Apr 06, 2011

Hello:

When I open my PPT, I'm getting the following pop-up error message, "Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005) SlideShowWindow (unknown member) : Invalid Request."

Any suggestions?

Hi Solano,

Then restart your computer, and verify that the Articulate add-ins are properly enabled in PowerPoint.  Here's how:

Hello,

I had the same thing happen...with the same error message. I did some digging and this is the solution that I found...it seems to be working quite well too.

NOTE: Make sure you close PPT before you delete them!

This is an excerpt from the thread that I found the answer in...

It may be possible that one of PowerPoint settings file may be corrupted, please search your system for these two files - "PPT12.pcb" or "PPT14.pcb". If you find anyone of them or both of them, just delete them and then try to publish the presentation.

Usaually these files are located at: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\PowerPoint

Hope that helps!
