When I booted up PS7 a message appeared …"PHOTOSHOP IS ON THE SAME DRIVE…IT MAY CONFLICT WITH MS ELEMENTS … INSTALL ON A DIFFERENT DRIVE …" or something to that effect. I didn’t notice anything at first but now I can’t get into MS PowerPoint. I need to fix the problem since I use PowerPoint extensively. :eyeroll: WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! I have tried everything I can think of including uninstalling all Adobe Programs and all of MS Office which includes PowerPoint and then reinstalled Office and it still hangs.

Don’t think there’s such a thing as MS Elements.

Ross,

Please know that there is a lot of help in the forum, but here’s what I tell friends and collegues.

Do you know why they put those little message boxes up during an error?

So that people will read them

Seriously – consider this "I got an error message on my computer today, what should I do?"

What would you recommend Ross? Ya can’t recommend anything because you don’t know what the message is.

Sorry to rag on you but we’re not mind readers – if you want good help, give good information.

Peace,
Tony

Ross,

I am not sure what your error is referring to but I can say that I am 99.99% sure that there are no conflicts between Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop.

If there is a problem with Power point I doubt that it has anything to do with Photoshop.

I should note that I have them both installed on the same drive and run them both at the same time on a regular basis.

"PHOTOSHOP IS ON THE SAME DRIVE…IT MAY CONFLICT WITH MS ELEMENTS …

I suspect the message was "Photoshop is on the same drive as Photoshop Elements" as I understand, you should not run both on the same drive. I have installed both on the same drive at home with no problem, but I suspect they may share files of the same name?

It should not affect MS Office apps in any way. I have Office 2000 on my system at home with no problems at all with a similar setup.

Have you deleted all temp files and run scan disk, defrag? That is where I would begin with a problem like this. Then uninstall/reinstall Office.
