Pls. help with odd issue
I am running Powerpoint 2003 under XP. Intermittently, and
unpredictably, the following occurs. When I open a Powerpoint presentation, the cursor continuously flashes, the screen refreshes very quickly and constantly, and the magnification setting instantly goes to 400% and immediately reverts to 400% if one tries to change it. Furthermore, though Slideshow view will start and display the first slidfe, any effort to run the slide show results in the presentation immediately reverting to the first slide. TIA Les |

You may also want to check for mouse driver updates or possibly a loose/poor
connection. The zoom feature can be controlled via the mouse scroll wheel. If there is a bad setting/connection in this, it could effect the way you see the presentation. -- Bill Dilworth A proud member of the Microsoft PPT MVP Team Users helping fellow users. http://billdilworth.mvps.org -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ vestprog2@ Please read the PowerPoint FAQ pages. yahoo.
