There seems to be a sweep of Powerpoint programs crashing on the Macbooks.
The immediate fix is to have the students use Powerpoint within their Windows installation. If they are having problems doing that, they should first restart the Windows side, but not the entire Macbook.
If that doesn’t or can’t work, they should come see me . I will need their computers at least 90 minutes to complete the fix, if they need a full install.
Microsoft programs have a history of not playing nicely with Apple, so I cannot say I am truly surprised.
It seems to be confined to the Macbooks that have the new Lion OS. Once again, we see that using the latest and greatest machine or software does not always benefit us. Waiting a little while before adopting a new operating system, just to see how it "plays with others" is usually a great idea!
What do you think?
