widescreen powerpoint - chart problems!

[Guest]

I have a laptop with a widescreen display. My problem is when I create
charts within PowerPoint, the fonts get all screwed up, crowded together, etc
in the chart. Titles within the chart area do not show up at all. When I
set my display resolution to something smaller and NOT widescreen, I can
correct the problem but it looks like crap. Is there any kind of update or
fix for this?? Please help - thanks!!!!

I suggested in response to your previous post that you update your video
drivers. Did you try that?

My video drivers are as updated as they can possibly be. The problem isnt
the driver, its the widescreen. My laptop is less than a year old, and this
is the only software that gives me a problem. The problem lies within PP,
not my video drivers.

I'm not disputing that, I just know that updating video drivers fixed this
for another user. You didn't say if you'd tried updating your video drivers
or not, so I was asking for clarification.

This is apparently a video driver problem; check with the laptop vendor to see
if they have updated video drivers.

Possibly. Or between PPT and your computer's video drivers. But it works on
other computers with wide screens. Why are you certain that the video drivers
are flawless?

PowerPoint's not going to change any time soon, so it seems you have two
choices:

look for newer drivers and hope they fix the problem

or

live with the problem
