I am running a basic presentattion with music backgrounds and vacation
pictures. All jpgs,
Works perfect on sons 1.2gig xp machine, works on win 98 mach at work with
350mhz and works with my laptop 333mhz win98.
BUT!!!! on my 1gig xp machine music plays, and slides tend not to show,
neverthe same ones, and sometimes it takes a slide and holds it for longer
then timed. all the time music playing (thus throwing off all the timing)

tried shutting all programs down, and cleaned system of spyware that may pop
up, (we are on a dsl network always connected) tried shuuting zone labs off
even.
continues to drop frames at random.

please any help would be great, need to transfer this to video and my system
is only one with tv out card.
 
Scott,

It could be many things as timings on different machines are varied. But
there are a number of things that may help that particular machine...

First, you should make sure you have the latest version of DirectX. That
may not help your current problem, but it is a wise security move. WARNING:
If you have Windows 2000, you MUST have all Service Patches for Win2K in
place before doing this (Courtesy of Austin Myers).

Second, you should try adjusting hardware acceleration:

Third, update your video drivers. They are the interface between you program
and what you see:

Also, try the general troubleshooting material:

"Don't use PowerPoint for anything serious until you've done this":

If that doesn't solve the problem, at least you have narrowed down the
possibilities Please get back to us so we can progress further.
