This site will be of unimaginable value to you:
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/
It has answers to questions you didn't think to ask... yet.

To answer your question we'll need a little more info, Lester. Are you
running on a system with dual monitors? Most newer laptops have this built
into them and some desktops, too. If this is the problem, then when you
click on the view show button, a second PowerPoint task (box) will appear in
the task bar (next to the Start Button). If so, than to fix it is easy.

Before you hit the view show button, click the following:
Slide Show | Set-up Show | (change to) Display on Primary Monitor | OK

Your slide show WAS running, but was being sent to the "other" monitor
output (that you did not have connected to a monitor).

Let us know if this does not solve your issue,

Just an obvious question - but do you need to hit the spacebar or some other
key to advance the slides?
