Alternate procedure:

1. Try double-clicking "Declarative.ppt"
2. If this succeeds, choose "View Show from the "Slide Show" menu, and watch the instruction. (Make sure your sound is turned on)
3. If this fails, go into directory ppview97
4. Double-click ppview32.exe
5. If step 3 succeeded, open Declarative.ppt from inside ppview32.
6. If step 3 failed (you may get a message saying your system is missing a .dll file), you will need to either install Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer, or view a version of the tutorial online. The online version does not have sound, so it is preferable to install Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer if possible.
7. To install Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer, go to the Microsoft Download Center and follow the instructions there. Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer is a free product. After installing Powerpoint Viewer, you can use launch-instruction.bat as you did originally.
8. If installation failed or was not possible, click here to read an online (html) version of the tutorial.

Error messsage:

"I'm getting a message that some .dll file is missing!"

• Unfortunately, this is a problem I didn't forsee. Every computer I tested on was set up with this microsoft system file. Fortunately, it can be remedied by following the alternate procedure above.

Bug:

"I can watch the presentation, and all the sound works fine, except for the beep. The beep doesn't play correctly."

• I have a fix for this. It requires a download which is up to 10 MB, though, so you might prefer to ignore this bug.
• Click here to go through the process of installing this fix.
