Then you should have the nVidia GeForce2 GO, v.44.82, A18 driver installed,
right? If not, you can find it on the Dell website. It's always good to
ensure that you have the latest available driver installed especially when
experiencing problems like those you described.
Are you using random transitions on your slides, or are you using the Fade
thru Black transition? It's a real resource hog.
