Thanks for sending me the file. I do see the same behavior you describe
when I play the file in PowerPoint 2003 and in Windows Media Player 9. I
suspect that they just can't handle the frame rate that you have set.

You could convert it to an AVI, but you will lose your transparent
background and the background will become black.
