Powerpoint 03 behaves odd in windows 7

Hi folks  Running Powerpoint 2003 on a number of brand new dell optiplex 780's with windows 7. Basically finding it's behaving odd i.e.

selected text boxes / pictures move when selected (snapping /grid lines are off)

selected text boxes / pictures just seem to duplicate at random times

Got SP3 installed
Uninstalled Office, and ran clean up utillity too
Reinstalled and still experiencing the problem on 3 machines.
Tried changing the mouse too

These PC's have a clean install of windows 7 32bit and legit copies of office 2003

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Have you tried running it in XP Compatibility mode?

Right click the program icon > Compatibility > Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP3

Although, I'm running the same, W7 Pro, 32bit, Office 2003 Pro, and it appears to be ok. Not that I've used it much, but others have.
