is there a way to:
slides 1,2,3 are on manual advance. slides 4,5,6 are on automatic advance.
how can i get the loop to begin again at slide 4 instead of the beginning?
it's VISTA
 
Do you mean looping a set of selected slides?

If so, you can make use of custom show to achieve this.
First, click Slide Show > Custom Shows.
Create a new custom show and add the slides you want to loop into the custom
show.
Close custom show.
Click Slide Show > Slide Transition.
Under Advance Slide, put a checkmark to "Automatically After".
Click Slide Show > Set Up Show.
Under Show options, put a checkmark to "Loop continuously until 'Esc'".
Click Ok.
Right click on the thumbnail of these looping slides, select Hide Slide.

Now, add a dummy slide just before these slides.
Create an action button on the dummy slide and have the action button
hyperlinks to the Custom Show. This will allow you to enter the custom show
once you click on the action button.
Put a checkmark to "Show and return" if you want to return to the dummy
slide.

When viewing the presentation, clicking the action button on the dummy slide
will bring you to the custom show (looping slides). Once you are done with
it, press Esc key to go back to the dummy slide. Then advance to
the rest of the presentation by pressing Enter key.

Is there any way you can just advance to the next slide out of a looping
custom show slide?

I tried the transparent action button, set to Next slide. but still loops.
