I've seen this topic before, but nobody seems to have solved the issue. I'm in PPT doing any number of operations when the program decides to crash and I get the transparent Overlay of Death.
This has happened while applying effects, adjusting brightness, you name it -- including when I am simply saving a file.
Sometimes, it "kinda crashes" -- like when I go to Save and no thumbnails appear in a folder filled with JPGs, only the names of the files. Or in the JPG preview pane, all I see is a black box where the preview should be. Or when I go to save and there is no Save button.
I was having these problems before, on my older Dell XPS system running Vista. But I recently upgraded to a Dell Optiplex desktop with a screaming 4th gen i7 processor, 32Gb RAM and dual SSDs. I shouldn't have these kinds of issues. What can I do to fix the problem?
Is it the latest version of X5? I don't have it running anywhere anymore so I can't troubleshoot files. What version of Windows?
