Very slow transition from Normal view to Presentation or Slide vie

[Guest]

I am experiencing a long delay on PowerPoint programs I have recently
completed. However, on programs that I completed a year or so ago, there is
no delay.
Older program:
51.4 meg – 257 slides – transitions almost instantly
Newer program:
15.1 meg – 117 slides – Takes at least 45 seconds to transition. The 45
seconds is actual clocked time, not an estimate.
I'm at a loss. Anyone have a thought?
thanx

Application: PowerPoint 2000 SP-3(9.0.8942)
Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 build 2195
Computer: Dell Pentium 4 w/2gig RAM

Lynn,

When you say 'programs' are you referring to 'presentations' perhaps?
