Post subject: PowerPoint 2007 very slow Archived from groups: microsoft>public>powerpoint (more info?)
I have been having problems with PowerPoint 2007 being very slow. It takes
forever to jump from slide to slide, and it is next to impossible to edit
text. I'm running PPT2007 on a Vista Business Laptop with 2GB of RAM, ample
hdd space, and the powerpoint file is about 12MB in size with about 30
slides.
I don't have anti-virus running, I do have a default HP LaserJet 4 local
printer driver installed (no printer though), and this is happening with all
of my PPT files. I did save this one to PPTX and did a "compress photos" to
no avail.

Hi Steveho
See if playing with the graphics hardware acceleration helps:

As well as what Lucy said:
Do you have SP1 installed?
Also some printer drivers can cause this even when there is a default driver
set locally, it might be worth trying something else as the default

I did turn on the hardware acceleration under powerpoint. I also did have a
different printer driver, the Canon ir5000, as my default, then added the
LaserJet4 as a default for a troubleshooting step. It has not helped, so I
will probably remove the LaserJet4 (since i dont have this printer anyway).
This happens with every power point file, but all my power point files were
created in ppt2003. I dont want to recreate them all under ppt2007 as even
creating a new ppt2007 is incredibly slow.
Any other suggestions?

Try Windows hardware acceleration instead of PowerPoint's. Here are instrux:

Thanks Echo S- I already have windows hardware acceleration to the maximum
performance. BTW I wish those instructions on that FAQ would list Vista as
well...

Actually, I turned it up and down and everything in between. It just is very
slow. This is moving from character to character takes about 2-3 seconds.
Typing a word will show up 5 seconds later.

I'd check for an updated 'graphics card driver'... from either
