Re: Powerpoint 2003 text in text box not appearing 1 Dell Studio l

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I attempted to try your first link, however, when I try yp Trobuleshoot, the
Change settings is grayed out. It says. "your current display driver does not
allow changes to be made to hardware acceleratiom settings.

I installed the print driver as the tutorial recommended and then started
Powerpoint 2003. The problem persists. I'll email another attaachment of a
print screen so you can see the missing text. It will show the custom
animation with the text in each of the 4 lines there.

Hi Randy

Feel free to send me a sample to lucyATaneasiertomorrowDOTcomDOTau - make
the obvious changes. I'm off out for a meeting but will have a look when I
get back.

Did you have a look at the graphics hardware acceleration thing?

Hi Lucy,

Both the Desktop and the new Dell wth the problem are using Powerpoint
2003.
They are both using Vista. Another Dell laptop is running Windows XP with
Powerpoint 2003, and has no issue with the text not being seen in that
box. I
could send you the slide, but I do not see an option to attach a file.

Try this:

And does the Vista box have 2003 or 2007? If 2007 I would strongly advise
trying this (yeah, I know it sounds crazy but it solves a shed load of
'07
issues):

Running a Powerpoint 2003 slide show, there is one slide that has
custom
animation and builds the bullet points. It is easy to read the text in
the
text box on all of my computers except for a new Dell Studio running
Microsoft Vista. The bullet points build as check marks but the text
that
should appear is not appearing. I have checked the font color thinking
that
was the problem, but the color is the same on each computer that I am
able
to
see the text on. Any ideas on what is preventing this from being seen
on
this
Dell laptop? I copied the Powerpoint presentation onto a CD and checked
it
on
every other computer that I have and the text is easiy seen. If I go
into
custom animation I can see the text even on the Dell laptop. Why can I
not
see it?
