Powerpoint found an error
« on: Sunday 14 October 07 10:35 BST (UK) »

For some time I've had problems with a particular CD - when it was new I popped it in the drawer and it opened up instantly and I could read it.
 
Now for some reason I'm getting error messages such as 'can't open a closed database' - or it will search then comes up with 'name not found' - I also get 'external error' messages.

Yesterday everything went to pot with a 'powerpoint found an error message'.  In the end I did a system restore.

Is it a problem with this particular disk, it's a bit tired and I'm happy to buy a new one but don't want to if I get the same problems. Or is it something more serious?

Suey.

If it only happens with that disk, suey. It would definitely be the disk. I assume everything else is working fine.

I would say that some of the CD directory has got corrupted.

Thanks Gadget - Everythinb else seems to be working fine.

I hoped that would be the answer.  I'll buy a new one.
