Hi - I will create a PP with Jpg photos. (Using office
2000 - no patches). ON my boss's computer - he will open
up the SAME powerpoint that worked for me - and 1 or more
of the photos is all black. Microsofts "fix" was to right
click, Cut, then Edit-> past special - which DOES fix. My
boss doesn't want it to happen at all. I removed an older
APG vid card and put in a new Nvidia G-force 256MB AGP
card - with no change. I've also un-installed/re-
installed the program - no change. Now he's mad at me
that I can't fix it. He's running a P4 3.2Ghz computer,
XP Pro. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes - It's the office 2000 suite.

The Jpgs come from CD's - my boss doesn't believe in
digital cameras - so we get prints + the CD you get when
you process the photos. Just standard Jpg's - NO one else
in the office has this problem either...

To square off the details into nice neat little piles here:

- Everyone's running the same version of Office
- Everyone's using the same JPGs in the same presentations

The boss' computer is the only one with problems.

I'd definitely try the hardware acceleration suggestion Echo made.

Next stop would be the video board manufacturer's site to see if there are
driver updates.
