PPT XP very slow

I have made a complexe presentation with videos and animated gifs in PPT XP.
The performance of the presentation is very slow. If I show the same
presentation in PPT 2000 I'll get more speed. How is this possible?

After a lot of passes in XP I'll get an error in mso.dll.
Do you know some facts about it?

My System:
Win XP SP1
Office XP SP3
 
To open or close a ppt file is not my problem. I mean the showing of the
presentation. Is it possible, that the graphics informations become more
important than in ppt 2000 ?
 
PowerPoint 2002 introduced many new animations and transitions. PowerPoint 2000
doesn't support them and will ignore them. Are you using a lot of animation in
your presentation? Do you have transitions assigned to each slide?

Is your test in PowerPoint 2000 taking place on a different machine? Because
machines have different resources and speed, that could be another part of the
explanation. Do you have anti-virus software running on your system? What
other applications do you have running?
 
I use a lot of animation and transitions. Not all transitions working
correctly in PPT2000. I can understand the difference between PPT2000
and PPT XP.

I tested the presentation on an other machine with the same effect: In
PPT2000 I've got much more speed.

Yes, I use antivirus-software: Antivir Pesonal Editon.

If I run PowerPoint, normally I don't use other programs.

What can I do now?
 
Yes, if the animations you have used are not available in PowerPoint 2000, it
ignores them and the presentation will run faster.

In PowerPoint 2002 go to Tools > Options > Edit and disable the three items at
the bottom. You'll need to then re-apply animations and transitions and the
choices will be reduced to the ones that are available in PowerPoint 2000.

See http://www.echosvoice.com/gotchas.htm#Animation2002vs2000 for more detailed
information.

However, your different computers may still differ in speed, memory, disk space
available, etc. See
