Presentation Compilation Error: Unexpected Outcome

In summary, the conversation discusses a problem with compiling a presentation after line 10. The speaker tried commenting out all lines and creating a new file but the same issue occurred. They eventually figured out that the problem may be caused by auxiliary files created by LaTeX and deleting them can fix the issue.

I was writing up my presentation and everything was running. I compile it after every two slides and it was all good, and now all of the sudden it won't compile past line 10!

I even commented out every line in the document so that it is just a blank document. Will not even compile that meanwhile it was compiling for every two slides for up to 20 slides and bam... it's crap.

Here is what it says...

And again, here is the code before at the beginning...

I copied and pasted the code into a new file and it worked.

Still curious to know what the hell happened.

You're not alone. I've had weird compile errors, SAVED the document, reopened it, and it worked.

It's something in the aux files that LaTeX creates. You can also delete the aux files and recompile.
