formatting the defualt resolution in PowerPoint 2000

[Monty]

Good afternoon
I have an odd problem I have been unable to resolve with
PowerPoint on a Win2K workstation. It seems to be
ignoring the screen resolution of the users who try to use
it. In any resolution other than 1280X1024, the slides
will display off center. In higher res, the slides will
nto fill the screen. Lower res, the slides will simply
run off the left and lower edges of the screen. My usual
experience indicates that PP will display the slideshows
at whatever resolution the user is viewing, with a few
bugs on imported objects being the biggest problem. This
is a problem, because the workstation is in a multi-user
envirnament and different users have idfferent default
resolutions on the machine. I tried logging in as local
admin and verifying the res there, but the local admin is
set to 1024X768.

Is there anything I can change other than reinstalling
Outlook with the workstation at the user's preferred
resolution to fix this?

Thanks,
Monty

Is there any chance that the PC's display is set up in some kind of virtual
screen mode (where Windows treats the screen as though it's much larger than it
really is and the monitor acts as a physical viewport onto the larger virtual
screen)?
