Hi, I am an author who presents in schools. Hi, I am just a children's author with a problem. My dog broke my Dell laptop and I got a new one with Office 2007. When using my original Dell remote and my old powerpoint presentation when I press the remote forward button it is skipping a slide, in other words, advancing two slides instead of one. I can't figure out where or how to fix this.

I talked to someone at Dell but he couldn't help although he played around with slide show setup in PPT. I guess this is a Powerpoint problem but I am not sure. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thank you!

Often, when the batteries get low in the remote, the signal it sends for the "next" has a kind of "stutter", if you want to call it that. The receiver thinks it's receiving two "next" commands.

If that doesn't work, I would suspect Vista before I would suspect Powerpoint, since the latter is not what is doing the initial interpreting of the signal from the projector. Perhaps the old projector isn't installed correctly? I've never seen a projector that needed installing, but who knows with Vista?
