This is weird and shouldn't happen. As far as running programs are
concerned, Power User is pretty-much equivalent to Adminsitrator (broadly
speaking).

The major different I can think of is that administrator gets access to
other users' profile folders (under Documents and Settings). I wonder if
something related to the presentation is stored in another user's folder
(wild stab in the dark).

Alternatively, try using FileMon and RegMon from www.sysinternals.com to see
what files and registry keys Powerpoint is attempting to access.

This has nothing to do with group policy, though. There are some
knowledgable Office people hanging around in the microsoft.public.office and
microsoft.public.powerpoint groups. I suggest a repost there.

Regards

Oli
