I know that the Sideshow app is available for wm users who also are running Vista, but is there an application available for wm 6.1 users to control powerpoint who are running xp? 

thanks,

 Welcome jreed.

A quick search turned up this - http://powerpoint-remote-control.qarchive.org/ 

But it does seem quite dated. 

I'm sure Laura knows an app that can do this.

The only one that I know of is Pocket Remote Presentation Controls from Handango.

thanks, I was hoping ms would somehow have an application available for something like this.  I appreciate your help.
