I am at my wits end, my powerpoint presentation has yellow
for the green. When I use the S video port it works Ok.
When I use the 15 pin video connector the yellow is green.
I have tried it on diffrent computers with the same
effect. I have changed the 15 pin Video connector cord,
Received another computer, changed projectors, called
dell, (My computer is a 5100 inspiron 512 with 4.3 pen.)
Dell couldn't help, Microsoft Office couldn't help, even
my wife didn't know! Another problem is that after 50 or
so slides useing the remote, the presentation reverses in
rappid fire back to the first slide. I can only stop it by
pushing the advance. I understand this is a problem with
powerpoint and mabey they have a patch. If you know
please, I need help before I have to go back to flashcards.
 
Which version of PowerPoint are you using? You might want to try updating your
video drivers

Things I would check...

As Michael said, update your video drivers.

If I read your post correctly:
1. The projector works fine on all other computers.
2. The projector works fine on all cables (unless your computer is used)

Also, check if your video display card has color management software. Mine
allows for color correction to "fix" the display colors. If yours has this
software, it may be making it worse instead of better. Since this is video
card based, it may be 'display 1 vs. 2' independent.

If you have Photoshop, it also allows for display color correction. Check
this software as well.

Lastly, check your printer for color correction options. Since PowerPoint
uses the printer driver to assist it with some rendering functions, this
being incorrectly set may adversely affect the way the slides look.



As far as the remote control issue goes, there was a problem with some
remote controls using some versions of PowerPoint. Unfortunately I do not
remember which remotes. Perhaps one of the other people of the list does.
