SYMPTOMS
========
 
If you have more than one Object Packager object on a PowerPoint 3.0 or 4.0
slide, and if you run one and then the other, you may receive a general
protection (GP) fault similar to the following:
 
   PP4 caused a General Protection Fault in Module POWERPNT.DLL
   at XXXX:XX.
 
   -or-
 
   PP3 caused a General Protection Fault in Module POWERPNT.EXE
   at XXXX:XX.
 
The Object Packages can be anything from another presentation slide to a
Microsoft Excel worksheet or a Word document.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This is a problem with Object Packager for Windows. You can only have one
object package per slide.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To resolve this problem, duplicate the slide that you want to have multiple
packaged items on. Put one packaged item on each of the two slides. When
you run the slide show, it will look as if both objects are on the same
slide.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Object Packager for
Windows and PowerPoint version 3.0 and 4.0 for Windows. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
