My iBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.7 crashes while using Microsoft Powerpoint 2004. It happens all the time and I simply don't know what to do with it.

1) More RAM.

2) Reinstall Office and apply all updates. You can also try removing the Powerpoint preferences file to see if it is causing the problem.

It could one of a thousand things. Could you describe the problem more? Is it repeatable?

it happens right after the presentation ends. The cursor with rainbow colours appears and it crashes, and i reboot it afterwards. So it is repeatable, I just have to open a .pps file to have it reoccur.
