Animation Problems

Due to the number of photos in my PP presentation, the
file is quite large at 50+Mb. I running XP with 512 Mb of
RAM. Some of the individual slides contain a significant
amount of photos, with the largest containing about 18
photos. When I run the show I have noticed a degradation
on some of the animation effects such as fade in or out,
that causes the effect to be choppy at times. It doesn't
seem to happen when I just preview the slide, only when I
run the show. Can anyone offer any advice on how I might
improve the "smoothness" and overall quality of the
animation effects while running the show. Thanks
 
In addition, defrag your hard disk and try to minimize the number of
programs loaded in the background (at startup).

I could've sworn I've seen this same question already today.

I'd first make sure your photos aren't overscanned.
See http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00062.htm

Be sure to check the link to TAJ Simmons's tutorial.

Make sure 'Hardware Acceleration' is turned on (SLIDE SHOW >> SET UP SHOW >>
check box near bottom).

Additionally, the type of graphics card and the amount of dedicated RAM it
has is as important as your computers system RAM. For a file this size with
lots of animations a computer should have at least 64megs of dedicated Video
RAM (not a shared memory system).
