Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Powerpoint 2003 presentation blinking on new dell vostro
When I show a powerpoint presentation using Powerpoint 2003 the computer (and display on screen) will occasionally blink three times (the creen goes black for about 1 second each time) - something seems to be resetting. Any ideas? Turn off UAC (in user accounts) and that will stop. 2003 was written before Vista. You might try downloading the 2007 Viewer.  SignatureWas this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.

By "presentation screen" I was asking whether you were using a projector or what. That's a pretty basic business video card but it certainly should be able to push out the pixels to a second monitor unless the second monitor is incredibly huge. I see that you left out the size of the second monitor. I would think anything around 19"-20" would be OK, but that's just a guess. If this only happens in PowerPoint, I'd post in one of the PowerPoint groups because the PP experts there will be better able to help you. After all, giving presentations to groups is what PP is all about. microsoft.public.powerpoint Malke SignatureMS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! I am using a projector and putting it on abig screen. I don't have the specs for the projector. I will try a powerpoint group again, but the last time I tried them they told me to try vista help. > > I hope these are the answers you are looking for... > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Malke > I am using a projector and putting it on abig screen.

Perhaps the issue is with the projector and you should read its Help files or contact its support. Sorry that I was unable to help you.
