PowerPoint slide show being interupted

I am running a continuously running powerpoint slide shoe for an event.  Randomly during the show, Backup requests, and security issues keep popping up, interrupting the show.

How can I prevent this from happening??

You could also use the same batch file to end services, such as the Task Scheduler.

net stop Schedule       <-- This stops the Task Scheduler

net stop wuauserv     <-- This stops Windows Update


I would suggest going through MSCONFIG to see what else starts up with Windows and kill off those processes and services.
Review event manager, consider disable of screen saver, if not already done

ditto above: use MSConfig for mass disabling, utilize DOS commands more often (build up own 'toolkit)

Also, get the machine off-net for presentation, boot standalone, without synchronizing or activation of online support

Don't use alarms/alerts such as "you've got mail"
