Presentation always starts minimized

[Andrew McGurk]

I am generating a presentation in Visual foxPro and it has been running OK.

Recently it has started to always run minimized. I can't see what I changed
to cause this! Below is the code I use.
Is there a setting to force it to run maximised, other than the one I have
tried in this code.

* Setup slide show properties...
With PptPres.Slides.Range.SlideShowTransition
.EntryEffect = 513
.AdvanceOnTime = 1
.AdvanceTime = ThisForm.interval
EndWith

* Prepare and run slide-show!
With PptPres.SlideShowSettings
.ShowType = 3
.LoopUntilStopped = 1
.RangeType = 1
.AdvanceMode = 2
EndWith

PptApp.WindowState = 3

NoLoops = 1
DO WHILE NoLoops <= ThisForm.MaxLoops
PptPres.SlideShowSettings.Run &&& Run VFP-generated slide show
Wait window "Waiting for slide show to finish..." TIMEOUT (N *
ThisForm.Interval)
NoLoops = NoLoops + 1
ENDDO

TIA

Most probably, the slide show is being displayed on a second monitor. In
PowerPoint, select "Slide Show" | "Set Up Show..." menu item, ensure that
"Primary monitor" is selected in "Show on" box. An issue is that this
setting is not available to you through automation.

It shows on my monitor (I only have one connected), but minimized until I
click on it in the Task Bar.
