I have problems with playing slide shows. Before that PowerPoint warned me,
that my graphics card is not propoerly configured, but I closed this warning
with the option not to see it any more. After that, I realised that
something's not right, but I can't fix it now.
 
Well, there's a problem while playing slide show. The action is very, very
slow, it "stucks" all the time, so that effects like "floating up" really
don't exist (I can see only the end of the action and not the whole action).

It happens very often, that after a motion path the object (on the path)
disappears and appears again after clicking.

Generally speaking I can see everything, but animation fails.
 
What graphics card does the computer have? Specifically does the graphics
card have shared memory - dedicated memory - split with shared and
dedicated?

What OS?

How much computer memory is installed?

In PPT in Set Up Slide Show is hardware acceleration turned on or off?
 
I found as much information as I could. Here it is:

graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440,
driver: 5.6.7.3 (2004-04-07),
DAC converter: Integrated RAMDAC,
Memory size: 64 MB,
Fill Rate: 1.1 Billion Texels/Sec.,
Triangles per Sec.: 34 Million,
Memory Bandwidth: 1.03 Trillion,
Maximum Memory: 6.4 GB/Sec.

Operating System: Windows XP (2002 version), Service Pack 3,

Computer: AMD Duron(tm) 1.2 GHz, 256 MB RAM.

c. 850 MB free space on disk C:

As to options in "Set Up Slide Show" there is no option related to
acceleration of hardware (Office 2010).

If there's more information needed, please tell me. I checked graphics card
documentation, but found nothing about the type of card memory ("split",
"dedicated" or "shared"). If it is important, please tell me, where I can
find it.

Thank you for help.
 
I found that the frequency of monitor is 60 Hz.
