PowerPoint slow while opening

D

Hello,

I'm experiencing problems in PowerPoint 2004 while opening files; it is
very very slow.

An example to explain it better:

a PowerPoint 2004 file of about 160MB takes about 10 minutes to open (
in slide sorter view ); same file opens in about 40 seconds if running
in PowerPoint 2003 on Windows XP.

I've made tests on different Apple hardware ( iMac G5, PowerMac G5
dual, PowerMac G4) with enough memory
( from 512Mbyte up to 1.5Gbyte on the G5 dual processor) , and on
both Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4, but the result is the same.

Switching from "Normal view" to "slide sorter view" it is very slow
also ( about 10 minutes).

Mac OS X "Activity Monitor" reports , while file is opening, a
PowerPoint process status
"not responding" and the real memory usage increases very slowly; the
CPU usage is low as 10 %.

I've installed Office 2004 service packs, but I did not get any
improvement.

Does anybody experienced the same problem ?

Any suggestion is welcome.

Regards,

Diego
