Question : Powerpoint 2007 hangs then crashes

I have a new toshiba laptop computer running Windows XP and a fresh install of Office 2007.  In powerpoint 2007 when I create a pie chart and then edit the pie slices to change the colors the computer locks up.  Either powerpoint crashes on it's own, or you have to shut it down.

I've tried disabling all the COM add-ins, still happens, tried turning off autosave, still happens.

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions.  Thanks.

Here are the three errors I get when this happens.
