Hello

I have a user with Powerpoint XP installed who finds that the application
hangs when choosing the Insert > Picture > From File option. Often the
browse window will hang completely when the drop down arrow next to the Look
In text is clicked.

He is running WinXP sp1

Thanks for any advice, we user powerpoint heavily in our offices so any help
would be appreciated

Three possibilities jump to mind ...

1) They have a lot of pictures stored in the My Pictures folder and windows
is generating thumbnails for them. To correct this, try:
**Don't make me store my pictures in My Pictures

2) They have a large number of tmp files on their system, for more
information look at:
**PowerPoint gets the SLOWS

3) And don't forget the ever popular:
**Programs slow down after applying Windows XP SP1
