You should post a description of the problems you encounter so that they can
be corrected. Some of your work arounds may actually be causing the
problems. For example, if you have Fast Saves turned on, turn it off
immediately! That may actually be the cause. If by autosave you mean Auto
Recovery, that will only help if PowerPoint crashes. Set it to about 10
minutes. Every time a save is done it eats CPU cycles.
