Replacing "Starting slideshow" with an image

Hi,

As it is impossible to disable the "starting slideshow" message (And I'd
like to keep this version..), Is there a way of replacing it with an image
(of my desire..)?

Thanks,
 
PowerPoint XP?
Don't think there is a way to replace the starting slideshow message with an
image, though I might be wrong.

Actually, It does not matter what version I use...
It's either "Starting Slideshow" or a blank image.. I'd like to show an
image while the slideshow is loading.. (I want the screen to have something
at all times).
 
How long does your show take to start? It should only be blank for a brief
moment, unless you have a very large first slide. Try Adding a new slide in
position 1 that simply has the text "Any moment now ..." and auto advances
after .5 second. Your slide show should start fairly quickly.

Are you loading your show over a network or from a CD? These have much
slower access times and will open much slower than a PPT file being loaded
from your hard drive. Have you optimized your presentation for size?

Just for fun, I created a presentation on my local hard drive with 195
pictures on a single slide taking some 28 megs. It took 15 seconds to start
the show (black screen), if this was the first slide. If I placed a simple
slide (small, text only), it took less than a quarter second to start, and
then took the 15 seconds to load the monster slide and advance.
