PowerPoint Playback Problems

1. The images I'm linking to in my presentation are all PSD images with no
background so they shouldn't appear inside a white box. About half the time
I play the presentation, some look like EPS images without a clipping path.
I've checked all the "fill" settings and everything is indicated to have "No
Fill."

2. The show will NOT playback smoothly. Very jumpy, and some of the
animations don't play at all. For instance, instead of a text box zooming
forward, it just pops into the near position. This happens sporadically all
the way through the piece.

3. The music track I'm using drops out temporarily as some of the effects
occur, even though it's supposed to play through till the end of the
presentation. It plays OK through the first two slides, then starts winking
out.

4. When I try to save the show as a QuickTIme Movie, or Optimize the file,
it crashes the PowerPoint application. Just refuses to save it as movie of
any kind, even when I disable all the transitions. Ready to shoot myself
here.
