The hardware graphic acceleration doesn't remain On when I re-star

[Guest]

I've got a computer that runs a .pps when I put it on. So everytime I need to
open powerpoint and activate manually the graphics hardware acceleration
checkbox because it doens't remain checked when I re-start the computer.
(I've tried to save de pps/ppt on a cd, on a pen and even tried to disable on
save option one called fast saving).

How can I manage to let the pps always with the graphic acceleration lways
on?? (i use powerpoint 2000).

Thankyou very much and sorry for my poor english

It should carry through when you save the file, but I'm curious, why would
you want to?

I want a pps file to run automatically in kiosk mode on a computer on a shop
showing some products and it always lost the hardware graphics aceleration.

Is it possible to create a .bat file that activates the aceleration and then
starts the pps?
(With the aceleration activated powerpoint works perfectly)

Thank you very much!

Glenna,

There are two hardware accelerations; one for the graphics card and the
other a setting inside PPT's Setup Show. I believe here is the one inside
PPT.

Adolfito,
This is a mystery setting to many. It does not travel with the presentation
as it is a setting that interacts with a computers graphics card. When set
it will stay active as long as PPT is open. It is somewhat up to the
computer's graphic card interface if it remains active on the next launch of
PPT.

Hope that helps explain what is going on (although I realize it is not
helping solve the issue).

Didn't know this. Thanks for me learning something new.

Thank you very much.

And what about the .bat? Is it possible to make a .bat or a macro that
activates the accelerator on the ppt/pps and then make it run?

I am not usually in that store so it works slowly until I activate the
hardware accelerator.

I've also been looking for in google any kind of plugin that forces the
acceleration, bit I didn't find anything. :-(

Troy,

From what I cam work out, if you turn the graphics card one off, the one in
PPT does not work either.

I've been looking on net and there's a guy who was asking if it poible to
change any parameter opn windows registry to force that graphics hardware
acceleraton.

There are two values that seems to be invloved with that issue:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\Options\SlideShowUseDirect3D

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\SlideShow\RestoreSysParams

(Maybe the first one to force it to run, and the second one to let the
acceleraton on when we close the program...)

Any clue? What does it meas a "0" value? Activated?

thanks for your support

Leave REGEDIT open to these keys. Change the setting in PowerPoint then go back to
REGEDIT and press F5 to refresh the view. You should be able to tell what's what. Worst
case, you may need to quit PowerPoint and then refresh in REGEDIT.

In most cases, changing PowerPoint's registry settings while PPT is running will have no
effect. You usually need to make the change before starting PPT.
