Powerpoint Repair & Recovery Software

Microsoft PowerPoint is an incredible presentation program, which is used by presenters across the globe. But, PowerPoint presentations are quite vulnerable to corruption and consequent data loss. A presentation can become corrupt in many scenarios including abrupt system shutdown, application malfunction, power surges or spikes etc. To overcome such problems, Microsoft has come up with an add-in which clones the active presentation and performs PowerPoint recovery when you suspect corruption.

The cloning process is similar to inserting slides from a file or using a copy and past operation in Slide Sorter view. This add-in can be used to create a corruption-free copy of a presentation which you suspect may be damaged. In this article, we would learn how to install and use this highly useful add-in.

You must download this Cloning add-in, available as a self-extracting archive, from the Microsoft Download Center. After downloading the Cloneme.exe file, you must execute the following steps:

• Double-click the Cloneme.exe files, the following file is extracted to the folder of your choice: CloneMe.ppa. It has been recommended by the Microsoft to place this file in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office folder.
• Start Microsoft PowerPoint, if you see the startup dialog box, click Cancel
• On the Tools menu, click Add-Ins
• Click Add new
• Select the CloneMe.ppa file and click OK
• You can use the the add-in by clicking Clone Presentation on the Tools menu

But, make sure the presentation you want to clone must be open for you to clone it. If the file is severely corrupt or damaged and you are not able to open it, this add-in cannot be used.

In such situations, you can troubleshoot damaged presentations and perform PPT recovery by observing the following steps:

• Drag the presentation to the Power program file
• Double-click the PowerPoint presentation in Windows Explorer
• Attempt to insert slides into a blank presentation
• Try to open the temporary file version of the presentation
• Try to open the presentation in PowerPoint viewer
• Move the file to another computer
• And, if nothing works you must opt for a third-party PowerPoint recovery software.

Such tools repair corrupt presentations and recover valuable data by employing improved scanning algorithms.

Compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000, this PPT recovery utility also recovers severely damaged files in a RAW format i.e. without any formatting.

PowerPoint files showcase strange behavior in event of corruption. When you try and open a corrupt ppt or pptx file, the application may freeze or you may end up getting an error message. In some other instances, you may find it troublesome to even open a presentation due to corruption. Corruption of the PPT file is a biggest problem for anyone who loses access to the vital information.

In such situations, it is wise to restore the corrupt presentation by using an appropriate backup. However, if you are not able to restore the slides for any reason, don’t lose hope. You can repair a corrupt PowerPoint file on your own by using reliable PowerPoint recovery software.

• Microsoft Live Meeting Console is a tool which is widely used for conducting online business meetings, trainings and other events.

Sometimes, when you try to open a PowerPoint Presentation file, the application stops or automatically terminates. In addition, you also receive an error message that prevents you from accessing the slides saved in the presentation. One of the major causes for the above behavior of the application is corruption in PPT or PPTX file. Few main causes for PowerPoint Presentation damage can be application malfunction, improper system shutdown, virus infection, opening a presentation (created in an earlier version) in new version of PowerPoint or vice-versa. To overcome PPT file corruption and access the slides saved in the presentation, you can restore the presentation from an updated backup. However, in case no backup is available, or backup fails to restore the expected data, then you are not left with any option, but to opt for an effective PPT Repair software.

The above scenario can be explained with the help of the below error message:

“Your system is low on virtual memory. To ensure that Windows runs properly, increase the size of your virtual memory paging file.”

The error message appears at the time of opening PPT file. Once the above error message flashes on the screen, the PPT file becomes inaccessible.

Cause:

The above error message occurs when the PPT file gets corrupted or damaged.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and to access the slides, you will need to follow the below steps:

• Try to open the presentation in a MS Word document, using below mentioned steps:

1. Open MS Word, select ‘File’, and then Click on ‘Open’ option.
2. In the ‘Open’ dialog box, select the ‘Recover Text From Any File’ option by clicking on arrow located next to ‘Files of Type’ box.
3. Lastly, select the corrupt PPT file and click ‘Open’.

• Try to open the file in PowerPoint Safe mode by following below mentioned steps:

1. Click ‘Start’ and select ‘Run’.
2. In the ‘Run’ dialog box, type powerpnt.exe/ safe and then open the PPT file.

However, if both the above steps fail to resolve the above error message and the PPT file remains corrupted, then you will need to opt for a third-party PPT Recovery utility to repair the file. A PowerPoint Recovery tool ensures complete repair by employing powerful repair mechanisms.

As a regular user of MS Powerpoint, you may encounter a few error messages while working with a Powerpoint file. As an instance, an error message may occur when multiple columns are deleted from Microsoft Graphs. As a result, Powerpoint stops responding and you cannot access any of the files until the issue does not get resolved. The situation may become worse as you may also lose your data. To overcome such situations, you can restore the data from a valid copy of backup file. In the unfortunate event, if you have not maintained any backup and the Powerpoint file is corrupt, then a powerful PowerPoint Recovery application will enable you to retrieve your data completely.

For instance – The following error message may appear when you try to delete multiple columns from a Microsoft Graphs file that is embedded in Powerpoint presentation file:

“CiceroUIWndFrame: GRAPH.EXE – Application Error

The instruction at xxxxxxxx referenced memory at xxxxxxxx. The memory could not be written.”

After this error message, Powerpoint may stop responding or hangs. Further, when you press CTRL + ALT + DEL to close Powerpoint, you may receive an application error message.

Cause:

The issue generally occurs when a column is deleted from the datasheet. This is because the data structure of the datasheet is checked for possible compaction to reduce the memory used. So, when you delete multiple columns simultaneously, memory clean up does not occur, and eventually the memory manager corrupts the memory heap for Microsoft Graph, which causes Powerpoint to hang or stop responding.

Resolution:

To resolve the issue, you need to obtain Service Pack 3 for Microsoft Office XP. However, if the problem does not get resolved, then it might be the case of Powerpoint file corruption. A corrupted Powerpoint file can be repaired completely by using a sophisticated third-party Powerpoint Repair application. Incorporating efficient scanning algorithms, these Power Point Recovery tools repair and restore the Powerpoint file completely in almost all scenarios of corruption. Also, these tools are built with interactive graphical user interface that facilitates easy usage and understanding of the application. Hence, no prior technical skills are required.
