PowerPoint: After Dark Screen Saver Causes Crash in Slide Show PSS ID Number: Q63965 Article last modified on 01-04-1991 PSS database name: M_PowerPt

2.00 2.01

MACINTOSH

Summary:

There is a known incompatibility between Microsoft PowerPoint versions 2.00 and 2.01 and versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the After Dark screen saver from Berkeley Systems, Inc.

If the After Dark screen saver is activated during a PowerPoint slide show, when the screen saver is deactivated, a dialog box appears, saying that PowerPoint has unexpectedly quit (under MultiFinder) or that a System error has occurred (under Finder).

Until the Macintosh has been restarted, neither PowerPoint nor After Dark will work properly. When you attempt to launch PowerPoint, a message appears, stating that the file is locked or in use. When you attempt to activate After Dark, nothing happens. When you attempt to access After Dark through the Control Panel, a message appears, stating that After Dark is not installed.

This problem was corrected in After Dark version 2.0. For more information about this problem, or to receive an update, call Berkeley Systems, Inc. at (415) 540-5536.
