My initial thought would be a graphics card problem. What graphics card is
in your laptop - does it use dedicated VRAM - and how much ram? If the card
is "up to specs" as I expect it should be, how big is the presentation - are
the imported images extremely large? Lastly, check the manufactures website
to assure you have the latest video drivers (especially if you have recently
installed Service Pack 2 for Windows XP).
