run a program from within ppt

K

On my laptop, I have used an action button to link to a countdown timer
program that can remain on top of the ppt slide while i do my quiz.
However the program does not remain on top although the ]always on top'
is activated and keeps dissappearing below the slide. Macro security
settings are low. I use office 2003.

The program works fine on my Home PC i.e. the link opens the timer
program on top of the slideshow

I have tried everything and have found no help on the net - what could
be wrong and could be causing this misbehaviour?

(I tried cloneme add-in but oit givesd me a runtime 91 error on
opening)
(I have even tried importing all the slides into a new ppt file but it
does not work

Help i have 24 hrs before i have to deliver this prez

I can however do the following. Open the program by clicking on the
link, then press Control + T to see the taskbar and open the timer
program on the taskbar after which it stays on top

rememeber all this is not happening on my HOme PC just on the laptop
