PowerPoint 2003 Refreshes Slow

[Guest]

I'm working on a Presentation with 17 slides. The presentation has a number
of tables, graphics, and logo. I have on the Master Slide a graphic that is
set as a Washout in the background. I noticed that everything is extremely
slow when I switch from slide to slide. I have run a detect and repair, I
ran the regserver switch (still not sure why, but someone told me to), I
restarted the machine and everything is slow every time I go from slide to
slide. Someone told me to change the hardware acceleration, but I was not
able to do it. If i remove the background picture it goes a bit faster when
switching from slide to slide, but I need that picture in the background.
This was not happening before with other presentations.

Is there any other setting I should be looking at?

Thanks,

What size (resolution) is the background picture? If you have a very large
image embedded in the presentation, PowerPoint will keep the full
resolution, but will only be able to display the screens resolution. If you
have further modified the image (washout) then PowerPoint has to calculate
the adjustments for all the data, even though it can only use the display
resolution. What type of image file was used (JPG, PNG, EMF)?
