Paul,
  Assuming you get it setup and running, the remaining issue about
switching between powerpoint and stereo will have a lot to do with
the details of how you have things setup. If you use the special
"twinview clone mode stereo", I would expect that you'll have the
best results. That's the mode that will work best for this type
of projector system, particularly if you plan to mix and match
stereo and non-stereo applications in the same session.
