I am using a Dell laptop running w2000 and powerpoint xp, projecting
using an NEC projector. Occasionally and it seems randomly, when a
presentation is running, a vertical black bar about an inch wide
appears about an inch from the rhs of the screen. The black bar
usually appears (randomly) when we go from slide sorter to slide show
mode. We don't always have to close down the program. Sometimes going
back to slide sorter, then back to slide show, will work, other times
we seem to have to shut down the slide show -- have had to reboot
recently. Sometimes starting a different slide show will work, which
makes me wonder if it could be background related, but I believe I have
seen it with no background at all.

Anyone seen anything like this?

You need to try and isolate what one thing is causing the problem

try and swap out each thing

for example

does it have this problem with the same equipment but using another
presentation
does it have this problem with the same presentation but a different laptop
etc
