We have tested the latest beta (14.0.0.160) and the issue seems to be resolved however the beta is not compatible with windows 8 or 8.1.
We are awaiting further detail from Adobe on this.

Workaround for Windows 8/MS PowerPoint 2013 users.

I uninstalled updates: KB-2966072.and KB2974008 using Windows Update from the Control Panel.

Not sure if the presents a security issue, but to be honest, after wasting 5 hrs last night trying to get the damn thing to work, am just happy I can use it now!

I cant reduce to 13 for some reason in the latest version of ppt. This is messing up all my lessons that use embedded shock wave flash elements. Years of lessons up in smoke. Adobe needs to sort this quickly.
