Hi everybody,
We're having trouble here with a laptop that doesn't seem to be running
dppt right. It's got WinXP and AG release 1.2, display machine install.
When I run the client command (or the master, for that matter), the
client appears to start, and to connect to the server, but then dies
with the error messages below. PowerPoint does in fact open, but without
any file open in it.
We did make sure that we had a current JVM installed (Russ tells me XP
doesn't have one by default).
Anybody seen behavior like this before, or have any suggestions of what
to try?
