Transparent ActiveX Control in PP 2003 Problem. HELP!!

[jason]

I made a simple ActiveX control in VB with an image control and i put
an image in there. No code at all.

It shows up fine in every other version of PowerPoint in design mode
and presentation mode besides 2003. In Powerpoint 2003 the picture
shows up fine in presentation mode but in design mode the activex
control is transparent. So I can't see where it is, let alone see the
picture that's there.

So i don't know what to do..Haven't seen anything out there on google
or anything here really.

Any ideas?? Is this something I have to put up with in 2003, or is
there a setting in PP I could change or do i need to rebuild my
software?

Thanks,
Please reply here, or email me (e-mail address removed) <remove the
NOSPAM> if you have any suggestions.

Sounds like a video driver issue. Try updating it and see if it takes care
of it.

Hi,

I've seen an example of it and it can be reproduced on a few systems. My
hunch is something in the code is causing it, but without source code (and
plus I know little about code), it will be hard to nail what is happening.

Thanks for the responses. I don't think its a video driver thing, I've
tried it on numerous computers and never displays in presentation mode.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I will try upgrading my video drivers though.
