Hi,

First thanks to Chirag, Glen, and Troy for their previous tips.
But I found this great little tool:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psexec.shtml
Now I have one control machine, using one PP with buttons to command other
different 1-slide PP's on other machines. Also now I can start, inbetween,
other apps (e.g. play music) Great!

But now:
One of these (XP-)machines has 3 video outputs with 3 monitors (nr. 1,2,3)
connected. XP detects this and all works fine.
In PP2003 you can set the screen has to be showed. (Menu:Slide show->Setuo
show->Multiple Monitors-Display show on->Primary monitor/Monitor 2/Monitor3)
Question: is this setting a property for a individual PPS file (I think that
was the intention) or as a general setting for PP?
It looks as it's the last one. If I set one PPS to monitor 1, save it and
set the other PPS to monitor 3, when running both PPS are presented on
monitor 3.

But I like to start one PPS on the left monitor and another, different one
one the right screen.
Is there another solution for this?

Thanks for reading,

Frans
 
In PowerPoint, only one slide show can be active at any time. So, if you start your presentation on the left monitor and subsequently start another presentation on the right monitor, the slide show on the left monitor will freeze. PowerShow add-in gets around this limitation and enables you to run multiple slide shows simultaneously on different monitors.

PowerShow can be used in conjunction with PsExec. PowerShow ships with something called PowerShow Launcher. This can be used to launch a PowerShow session on different machine using PsExec. More details on PowerShow Launcher is available at http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow_launcher.html
