Ghost of Presentation Displays on Second Slide

[keith_barker1]

I'm not sure how to accurately describe what I'm experiencing, but I'll give it a try. On certain PowerPoints, when I publish them using Presenter and then play them, a ghost or flicker of the entire presentation plays rapidly when I advance to the second slide. I have the presentation set to advance by user. I've played around with slide times - anywhere from 1 second to 10 seconds. I've even tried putting a blank slide in the position of the second slide, but this keeps happening. This doesn't happen on most presentations - just two so far. Has anyone else encountered this?

I just encountered the same thing but it is occurring on my first slide.  I've tried just about every setting but can't get rid of it.  A previous version of the presentation withut any sound incorporated did not have the same problem.  Any ideas appreciated...

The only way I was able to solve the problem was by changing the transparency of my background back to 0% and applying it to all.

I wanted a background that looked faded, so I ended up using Photoshop to create a lighter background and set it to a Transparency of 0% to simulate the effect. This seemed to solve the problem.

Interesting.  I just re-published the previous draft of the PowerPoint without the audio and I thought everything was fine.. no ghosts on the first slide.  However, they appeared on the second slide.  This is just too strange.  I'll take a look at changing my background transparency and see if I can enjoy similar success.  Thanks for the follow up!

Bingo.  Setting the transparency to zero did the trick for me too.  You just saved me a ton of time!  Thanks

Glad to hear that worked.
