Powerpoint issue

February 18, 2019 2:15:54 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi,

The powerpoint issue is quite annoying: if I download a powerpoint or open it from outlook 2016, it returns an error message saying tat powerpoint is unstable and needs to close.

To open it, I need to switch Groupy off, open the ppt file, save it, restart Groupy (put all my tabs back into groupy which is a bit of pain point) then I can work on the ppt.

I tried different approaches including flushing groupy and reinstalling.

Is there a fix for this please?

Can I "exclude" powerpoint from Groupy at launch (and then add manually to a tab). IF so: how to do it? (there is no path to the ".exe" file that launches powerpoint.

 

thanks!

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Can you try disable the hardware graphics acceleration on Powerpoint. Its on the Powerpoint Options Its on File-> Options-> advance -> Display and tick the disable hardware graphics Acceleration. Restart Powerpoint.

Try it and report back here if it help fix your problem.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your message. I have done this before.

I "think" it could be because the file is in "read only mode" (I have to enable the option for me to modify the file after I launch it)

Hi,

Has someone else had this issue when opening PPT that are attached to an email?

Bascailly: if Groupy is running nad I open a PPT which is attached to an email, Powerpoint return an error message (PPT not stable) and forces me to switch groupy off, terminate powerpoint, re-open the PPT document and restart Groupy again.

On a side note: how do I save Chrome instances and tabs into Groupy so that when I next boot up all my tabs are grouped? (I have 3 Chrome browsers with multiple tabs in each)

When I create a Chrome group in Groupy, only the Chrome instances are restored but not the tabs.

Thanks

Hi, I purged the system off Groupy last time and Hardware acceleration is disabled... Quite annoying.
Hope I can find a way to exclude powerpoint from groupy then (unless I add ppt manually)

I will check the Chrome solution, thanks!

You can always exclude powerpoint from auto grouping. Click on 3 dot menu.

and add exclusion via Groupy Settings.

Thank you,
