Some Slides lose their Design background

[Al]

We have a workstation that for some reason shows a black slide design for
some slides - the same slide show works fine on other computers so we know
the file is not corrupt.

I tried playing with the hardware acceleration but that did not help

Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?

Thanks

Al,

Try updating your 'graphics card drivers'

Any chance that computer is using High Contrast view in Windows Control
Panel | Accessibility options?

You could be right - we'll look into that

Thanks

High Contrast was not checked off but thanks for the suggestion
The user has a RAEDON X300 Series adapter with 128 MB RAM and is using 2
monitors - I suspect he needs a better video adapter.
