hi,

i was using powerpoint 2007 and was wondering why the typing (on the slides
in the body) was lagging. When i was typing, it didnt show what i wrote for a
second or two.

Did you make sure your computer is meeting the system requirements? Every
computer gets slow, if you work at the lower limits of the memory. Was
there another application running in the background that needs a lot of CPU
capacity, e.g. Outlook downloading mails?

Hi,

Ute has the answer.

In Aussie lingo we term it "as slow as rolling a drum of molasses up a
hill". Or at least we call it that in Queensland!

yes my cpu meets the system requirements.
Laptop
Pentium 4 HT Processor (3.2GHz)
768mb SDRAM
40GB HDD

Word and excel dont have any problems, its just powerpoint
 
forgot....also, i defragment my cpu weekly, run virus scans etc regularly,
use the compress old files feature in xp and clean out my temp files. Also, i
clean my registry with a registry cleaner.

Hmmm, I have no idea? My computer gets slow sometimes, but I know it's an
old machine, so it's no wonder. Maybe one of the other readers here has an
idea?
