Vista - Vista Ultimate 64 PowerPoint 2007 drama

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and to Vista Ult64. Today I had a nightmare experience. I was running a standard PowerPoint 2007 presentation from my new HP laptop with Vista Ult64 connected to a standard projector and the laptop went very strange switching in and out of the presentation while the CPU was showing an extraordinary amount of activity (especially when I was playing short low res AVIs). It even crushed Powerpoint at some stage. At home when I am not connected to a projector all is well with no drama at all.

I have a nvidia Go 7600 (512MB) Graphics card, Duo2 processor and 2G RAM. All genuine software.

What could possibly be the reason? Please help?

Many thanks,

Do you have the latest nVidia drivers installed? Also, did you have the display properties properly configured to hook up to the projector?

The fact that it wasn't a problem when you weren't connected to the projector definitely suggests a graphics issue.

The next time you're at work, you might want to try hooking up to the projector again to see if you can recreate the problem. Maybe it was just demons.

Thanks guys for the replies.

Yes, I made sure that all selections were made to presentation mode.

I have just downloaded the latest nvidia update and see if this helps.

Any other ideas let me know...
