I have a new Dell (Vista) PC with Dell 24" wide screen monitor.
When I run a slideshow in Powerpoint 07 and my monitor is set to 32 bit, the
display appears corrupt with horizontal bands appearing in wrong places etc.
When I change down top 16 bit the slideshows are fine.
Anyone else experience this or know why?
I would like not have to go into control panel and change down each time I
run Powerpoint.

Harry,

If it was me I'd visit the dell website and see if there is an updated Vista
driver for your 'graphics card'. As it sounds like that's the problem to me.
Or failing that visit the manufacturers website of the graphics card
www.ati.com www.nvidia.com etc

I did follow your advice and installed the latest nvidea driver but it made
no difference.
Many thanks anyway.
Cheers, Harry
