slides stop in long presentation

L

Lou

I have a 144 slide presentation that plays fine on my computer. When I
package it to CD and play it on another computer, all is well until about the
20th slide when the automatic advance feature stops and the slide hangs. If
I restart the presentation at say the 18th slide, it'll play fine until
another 20 or so have elapsed and then hang again. Clicking advances the
slide but then seems to be permanently engaged where you have to click on
each slide to get the text to load and the slide to advance. Verifying the
custom settings show that _automatically advace_ is still selected. PPT
2003, using pack and go.

This sounds like a slow loading issue.

How big is the PPT file? Or basically, have you completely optimized it for
size? The bigger the file, the more data has to be retrieved from the
slower CD data transfer methods.

Thanks for the reply, Bill.

The entire 144 slide ppt is a little over 19meg.
Could you elaborate on "optimize for size"?
I suspected a cache problem. I seem to recall seeing some data in this
discussion group about limitations on just how much data could be processed
though I don't claim to understand how I could adjust such a factor.
