Impress hard crashes the computer when running a large file.
Last modified: 2005-12-15 16:33:10 UTC
I imported a large (180 meg) .ppt file to openoffice v1.??. I then saved it as a .sxi file and it worked fine. Now I got a new computer and installed openoffice v2.0. Everything in the design mode works fine. When I press F5 the presentation worked slowly for about 5 to 10 seconds. Then the computer does a hard crash (reliably) and reboots. When it starts up windows error reporting says that the ATI graphics card had a generic error. I have the ATI Radeon Express 200 Series with driver version 6.14.10.6553. Should I also report this bug to them (ATI)? If any more information is needed please contact me.
As a test I saved it in the opendocument presentation format and the same error happens.
Perhaps you should download the latest ATI drivers and see if that resolves the issue. https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9448/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/Catalyst_510_releas e_notes.html If not, provide the crash report.
Reassigned.
I updated the graphics card driver, as recomended, and the problem still happens. Where is the crash report stored so that I can submit it? I am willing to do what is needed to fix this.
Please tell me if the slowly running slide contains an slide transition effect If there is an slide transition please tell me which transition it is..
It is the first slide in the show. It transitions to the next slide using the Venetian Blinds Horizontal. After updating the driver it gets farther. It shows the first few lines of pixels of the next slide, then crashes. Before none of the new slide would show before it crashed.
Please have a look if the presentation still crashes when you remove the slide transitions.
I don't get an answer for more then 1 month. Therefore I close the bug as invalid. PLease reopen the issue when you have some more information for me.
I close the issue.
