Power Point slide show--first slide won't transition to second

[Well, Now...]

I'm trying to set up a power point slide show with music; pictures all
inserted and set up, and I've inserted music--two songs, one at the first
slide, one at the 20th slide--using the 'insert', 'movies and music',
'files', 'create animation', 'effects' sequence. I've set it up for the
slides to transition after nine seconds each, using a 'fade to black'
transition sequencing.
However, when I try to preview the slide show, the music will play as
anticipated; the first slide will not transition to the second. It just
stays on the first slide. If I go to the second slide, the remaining slides
will transition after nine seconds each, as programmed; and if I go back to
the first slide, it seems like usually it will transition if I delete the
music. How do I make the first slide transition correctly, with the music?
