I'm running PowerPoint 2003 SP2 on an Inspirion XPS Gen2. The problem I'm
having is that when you get to slides with 3-D shadowing (whether in edit or
slide show mode), the slide redraws itself repeatedly, some times endlessly.
I've searched the knowledge base and could not locate any trace of this kind
of problem. Has or is anyone else experiencing this?
Things to consider:
o The slide has no animations
o All temp files have been deleted as well as all the office temp files
under the apps directory
o The same slide set on a Dimension 8400 desktop works fine, as it does
on a number of
other systems
o My screen resolution is set to 1920x1200, 32-bit color using the
embedded NVIDIA
GeForce Go 6800 Ultra graphics controller. I have not tried lower
resolutions (yet).
o If is remove the shadowing effects on the slides that keep redrawing,
the redrawing stops
and it displays as one would expect. The minute I shadow the
rectangle shapes on the slide it
loops, redrawing the slide for some number of times. The number of
times seems to vary. A
single rectangle is barely noticeable. Clone it 5 times and you
notice the slide get redrawn 3
or more times. Clown it 10 times and the redraw count goes up.
o The video resolution set on the laptop is the default configuration
that it came with. I am using
the latest and greatest drivers, BIOS, ...
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
