i thought powerpoint used to block all interruptions when you were in full
screen slide show mode.

anyone have any suggestions - i'm on vista with a 64-bit machine.

Try disabling all pop-ups in the other program. But: There's a chance that
your audience does not even notice those alerts. I presented using Microsoft
Live Meeting recently, when an Outlook message appeared, because I had
forgotten to close Outlook. My audience did not see it, because Live Meeting
only broadcasts the presentation.

Well, as you may know, I had an antivirus scan alert pop up during the
middle of a live show recently. Whoever set up the show computers didn't
disable those alerts, and up they popped. One to tell me the thing couldn't
find the internet to update its DAT files, then later, another to tell me it
had gone ahead and scanned using the old DAT files and that everything was
fine. <sigh>

Outlook also would pop up calendar alerts in the middle of my own (live)
training sessions. I finally figured out how to turn those off -- although I
*thought* I had. I guess I'd only turned off the mail alerts or something.

The only way I've been able to find is to go in and individually turn off
the stuff that tends to pop up -- antivirus, zone alarm, scheduled tasks,
mail, etc.

I also would like to see PPT have an option that says "do not show me ANY
alerts when I'm in Slide Show View. I don't care if the computer is going to
blow up, just don't tell me -- it can wait." ;-)

But you make a good point that the online audience might not see it. But
they might, especially if you've shared your desktop, not just the
application in question.
