Powerpoint 2004 crashing

In my case Powerpoint crashes everytime I click into the "change slides" =

pane on any theme on the first tab (the other tabs work fine). ANYTIME =
and=20
EVERYTIME. No matter, if the file was just newly opened or has been =
worked=20
on since a while, even with older files from version X - clicking on a =
theme=20
results in a crash.

Has anyone managed to get beyond that? Thanks for your input.

Is there anyone out there who can help me figure out, how to avoid these =

crashes, please, please, please?
