While working on presentation and having multiple PPTs open, and after having closed one of those, the remaining ones went black...

If I move over slides they appear again one by one but the right screen (preview) is still black.

Any ideas?

    Hi Argyrios,

    Have you tried a new version. Is there still the issue?

    Thanks

    Hi Argyrios,

    I dropped Jeffrey a note on it not working. We'll see what else we can do.

    Thanks

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately this still happens, and always when I have opened a big presentation copied slides from the big one to the one I am working on and then closing the big one.

    See screenshot below:

    Hi Argyrios,

    Did you get a chance to try Jeffrey's suggestions? Just want to track if it worked.

    Thanks!

    So there are two settings under File > Options > Advanced Settings: 

    -- Disable hardware graphics acceleration (this setting is worth trying to disable to see if that helps). 

    -- Disable Slide Show hardware graphics acceleration (this setting shouldn't impact your situation).
