Soham – glad you like the timer.

Thank you so much for telling people about us – that’s exactly the right way to thank us. If you blog or tweet and want to mention our PowerPoint countdown timer, even better!

Joe – have you downloaded the file and saved to your computer, or tried to open it immediately?

If you could send us a copy of the error message, that would help in diagnosing the problem.

I really like the concept. But, I can’t get the download to work on anything. Powerpoint says it is corrupt or unable to open this file type. I’ve tried Office 2003,2004, and 2008.

Yep, at home, college, or at your company. It can’t be resold or modified for resale though. This is our gift to our readers.

If you like the slides, maybe tell some people about us, that would be great!

Thanks a Lot!
When you said free to download and to use it. Can we use it at Home, College, company without any payment or license to use it?

Jim, we obviously tested the file, and it’s working fine for us. Which I guess isn’t that useful for you…

There are two things that could cause unacceptable lag in switching between slides – one is PowerPoint itself, the other is your computer.

This sequence was designed in PowerPoint 2003, and can run with glitches in 2007. (It runs OK in 2010, and for some set-ups in 2007.) If your computer is not fast graphically that might also cause some delays.

If you let us know what your set-up is we might be able to craft a solution, for you and visitors in similar situations.

Beautifully crafted visually but unfortunately it takes an additional 10 sec to load each slide before it counts down so the timer is very inaccurate.

Any suggestions?
