Slow transition between slides

[backoftheclass]

Hello out there,

I am having a problem with changing slides in powerpoint 2007. That is,
when I'm in normal or slideshow view it takes almost 5 seconds to change
slides! Most of the slides have pictures on them.

One suggestion I have tried is to compress the pictures in the presentation,
and that has not helped. I've also tried the suggestions on that webpage
titled "powerpoint got the slows" and had little success.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

On the tool Bar when you click on Animations, is there a checkmark in he
Advance slide after a certain timeframe? This might be your problem.

5 Minutes is a bit excessive, agreed.

Generally, the reasons for this are one of two things. Either there is a
lot the computer has to do to load the next slide (massive graphics or OLE
objects), or the computer is busy doing something else.

So ... how big is the presentation? Big = slow
How were the images inserted? Just because it looks like a picture does not
mean that PPT sees (and opens) it as a picture.
What else is running on the computer (anti-virus/backup/indexing/disk
management)?
