I created a presentation and burned it to a CD using the package for CD feature in PP 2003. When the CD is place in a computer it takes approx 2 MINUTES for it to start running. Is there any way to speed this time up so that the presentation only takes approx. 30-60 SECONDS to begin running????
 
Try turning off your virus scanning software and see if that helps.

How large is your presentation and do you have videos on the first couple of
slides?

It will depend on the speed of the machine, the amount of memory available,
the amount of hard disk space available, the speed of the CD drive, the size
of the presentation, the size of media files, and probably the direction of
the wind. Your description of the presentation and the size do not match.
Sixteen MB is pretty big, even if you aren't using sound or video. I think
you might want to read the following:

Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

but it does contain animation on test and images. Since this presentation
would be sent to other users who do not know me personally (using it as part
of my job search effort) , I do not want to tell them to turn off their
virus scan. I really thought that this was going to load much faster.
 
It may just have to do with the computer and CD and OS and combination
thereof. I know that autorun CDs seem to take forever on my office computer,
but they're much faster to load on my home system...
