Image problems with Powerpoint. HELP!

[Lorna]

Hi. I have this weird problem with powerpoint. I currently
have MS Office XP installed on my computer as does
everyone else in the office. I am having a problem seeing
images on any of the powerpoint presentations found on the
office's network. Everyone in the office seems to have no
problem viewing powerpoint files but me. They see the
images fine. I do not see what they see. Any suggestions
on what the problem is?

Are you able to view the graphics if you save the presentation to your local hard drive before viewing? It's a good idea to try
to eliminate the network from the problem.

What do you see instead? Is the problem with all images and all
presentations, or is it random? What happens if you save the presentation
to your hard drive and then view it from there? Have you updated your video
driver? Do you have the current version of DirectX installed?

Also to add to Sonia's suggestion, what color depth are you running your OS
with?
