Inability to upload a powerpoint
 
Hi guys,
I have been trying to upload a ppt and keep getting the 500 Internal error message. It is pptx and under 3MB. Is anyone else having problems with this, or could anyone advise me? It does have a link to a youtube clip, but this shouldn�t cause problems, should it?

Eager to see that one but unable to help you. I have never uploaded any ppt. Who knows, maybe one day I might try, then I�ll ask YOU. Good luck. It will work. I know some very witty and efficient people who are going to help you dear friend.

I can�t help because I have uploaded only 2 .docx yesterday and it was ok.
 
I don�t think it may be the video link. May it be with a virus stopped by the security system ? Why not but I am sure you would have been warned before, when you were watching it.
 
It may be a period with too many uploadings at the same time ? Victor checking the main system of the site ?
 
Have you tried again to upload your document ?
 
Hugs.
 
Maryse.

I am having the same problem at the moment. At first I thought it was my wifi connection,  which dooesn�t work very well lately, but there seems to be another problem.

Thank you friends, for your comments. I have tried uploading just the first 20 slides, weighing much less than 3MB, but had no luck. I did manage to upload a previous ppt of mine, so there must be something bad about this particular powerpoint.. It is a template I nicked from elsewhere, so maybe it�s justice of sorts.

You could try comparing the files settings to another file which you�ve successfully uploaded.

 

Right click on the file and choose properties.
 
Then compare the settings between the 2 files:
 
Under the General heading,  compare the �read only / hidden� boxes.
 
Under the Security heading, to change permissions click �edit�.
 
Under the details heading, you can update the author details (or remove them completely). 
 
It may help, but I�m not 100% certain.
 
Good luck either way :o)
