Assertion Error in Presenter

In editing the audio/narration in my presentation, I've been plagued with a message that says "assertion error" and which gives me options to abort, retry or ignore. The audio editing cannot progress past that point. If i click the pause button, the power point freezes and then has to close, losing any unsaved edits. This is really frustrating. Does anyone know why this happens, what to do when it happens or how to avoid or eliminate it from happening?

I get the same error and posted the same question on this form over a month ago (June 20th) and haven't had a response. Hope you have better luck with a response than I did.

I tried it again with both imported audio (.mp3 and .wav) as well as recorded narration.

Did all sorts of editions in the audio but could not get the assertion.

Please provide the exact steps to produce it. Does it happen always when you edit any audio or if not

then what is the frequency of this message. What other contents do the slide contain apart from the audio ?

In my case I think I also had imported a video sidebar clip in one slide when this happened but i cannot say for sure that this was the case each time...I got the message several different times and there may or may not have been video clips in those instances.
