Powerpoint steals focus

I'm running a custom .NET application at that same time as a Powerpoint
2003 slide show. The application displays different views of planning
information. When I change views, if I have a Powerpoint slideshow
running, the Powerpoint slide shows get focus, and appears on the
screen.

Typically I use [Alt] + [Tab] to switch between the two. The problem is
that the Powerpoint slideshow takes over the display without me asking
it to.

I've isolated this problem to one particular computer, as I can not
repeat it with the same versions of Powerpoint and my application
running on other machines. It happens with any Powerpoint slide show,
not just one in particular.

Any thoughts?

Have you checked your version/type of vid card on the various machines?
