I use pdfscreen, not texpower.  But I have also encountered a similar
problem.  One possible reason is that the two minipages are too large to
be accommodated side by side.  I have two suggestions to make: (1) Make
the width of the slide as a fraction of textwidth, not an absolute value
(2) Use a hfill between the two pages - this may not be important, but
helps position the minipages nicely.  Thus I separate the first and the
second minipages with the following two statements:

\end{minipage} \hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.45\textwidth}

> \documentclass[pdf,colorBG,slideColor,corners]{prosper}
> \usepackage[display]{texpower}
> \usepackage{graphicx}
> \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
> \begin{document} %document begins
> \begin{slide}{My two-column slide}
> \begin{minipage}{6cm} %this should appear on the left side
> \begin{itemize}
> \item Item A
> \item Item B
> \item Item C
> \end{itemize}
> \end{minipage}
> \begin{minipage}{6cm} %this should appear on the right side
> \begin{itemize}
> \item Item 1
> \item Item 2
> \item Item 3
> \end{itemize}
> \end{minipage}
> \end{slide}
> \end{document}
