IIS - PowerPoint 2007 Very Slow

Asked By JSquar
06-Nov-08 10:01 AM
I have Ofc 7 on my Dell at home. The PC has 2GB of RAM and is a core duo,
but I don't know the speed. It's relatively fast. The PC is running Vista.
PowerPoint is very slow with a file that I have used to track our performance
for years by month. It worked very well in prior versions of PPT, but is very
slow with PPT 07. When I open the ppt file to add another data point, it
requires me to confirm that I don't want to convert it to pptx. Otherwise, it
works okay. Just this extra step. When I convert the file to pptx and follow
the same process, it is unbelievably slow. I click twice on the slide, then
can open the Excel datasheet. This is where it seems to bog down. On the
first of six slides in the file, it opens the datasheet okay, placing the
graph to the left and the datasheet to the right. I enter the new data and
close the datasheet. When I open the second or third slide and try to get to
the datasheet, my PC just sits there for minutes. Folks, I have nothing else
open. Why is PPT 07 so slow?

Okay, you're all going to say it's my PC or something, so what if I told you
I have identical issues with PPT 07 on my XP machine at my office?

At this point, I am very disappointed with Ofc 07 and wonder if anyone has a
fix for this or if it's a Microsoft built-in problem we have to live with.

Thanks for listening.

Sorry, Tom, I thought I did. While I haven't used these groups before, I
clicked on Office . . . and that's how I got to this group. I'll retrace my
steps. Thanks for letting me know. I would have wondered why I never got an
answer.

What is the problem with Frontpage2003+Office2007+Vista? IIS Hi there. I have got a new PC with Vista Business and Office 2007. I want to use my old Frontpage 2003, and before installing Frontpage, I have read here and there, that it is a problem to install and use Frontpage together with Office 2007 + Vista. What problem can I expect? I have used Frontpage + Office 2007 + Win XP SP2, together with no problems. Thanks in advance. / Ib FrontPage Client Discussions

my computer IIS Recently I had a catastrophic 'crash' following hard drive failure. On reloading XP Home and Office 2007 on a new drive, I cannot 'fire-up' my copy of Frontpage and get a notice advising me that the set-up cannot find my copy of Office 2007. I have downloaded all updates including SP2 but no joy. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do please?

Loading FrontPage 2003 on Vista IIS I have a new laptop with Windows Vista and I cannot get FrontPage 2003 installed. The microsoft website says it is compatible, but the install stops at a prompt asking which drive Windows XP is installed on. Since I do not have Windows XP, how do I get past this? The product key must be set for XP. I need this program for my job and have to figure out how to get a solution - it will depend on the technician's opinion. HELP!!!!
