I enter text but there is at least a 2 second delay
before it appears on the screen. How do I set up the
keyboard to react normally?
 
Is this only in PowerPoint and is it all of the time, or just occasionally?
What else is running on the system? What version of PowerPoint and what
version of Windows are you running?
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]
[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -

Hello,

We have seen this symptom caused by a virus, adware, spyware or other TSR
running on a system.

To troubleshoot this do the following:

A) Determine whether someting in the system startup is causing the problem:

1) Close all running applications
2) Start -> Run
3) Type in "msconfig" without quotation marks
4) Click "OK"
5) Click on "Selective Startup" in the "General" tab of the System
Configuration Utility
6) Uncheck the "Load Startup Items" option
7) Click "OK"
8) Click "Restart" when prompted to restart system
9) After system as restarted, launch Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 and
see whether the symptom has gone away.

If symptom has gone away, selectively add items from the startup list until
the problem reoccurs (at which time you will have identified the software
which is causing the problem).

B) Selectively loading back items from startup list

1) Close all running applications
2) Start -> Run
3) Type in "msconfig" without quotation marks
4) Click "OK"
5) Click on "Startup" tab of the System Configuration Utility
6) Click on checkbox to add first item not already selected in the list.
7) Click "OK"
8) Click "Restart" when prompted to restart system
9) After system as restarted, launch Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 and
see whether the symptom reoccurs.
10) If symptom does not reoccur, go back to step 1 and repeat.

Once you detemine what software is causing the problem, we would certainly
appreciate if if you post your results in this newsgroup.

Thanks,

I am using WindowsXP Pro and PP is in Office Pro Ed 2003
Click to expand...
The problem is constant with PP but appears on MS Word
when my wife types to fast. I H&P very slowly
 
I did everything suggested including downloading updates
to Office 2003.I unchecked"Startup Items",restarted laptop
but problem remains.This is a new Dell with software
factory installed.
 
Am using Office 2003 package containing PP2003 and
Word2003.Both programs exibit problem but PP worse
 
Tried removing all start up programs but problem still
exists. Since this is new Dell with factory installed
software should I uninstall and reinstall?
