MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006How do presentations work when loading?
I'm working with large (40-60mb) presentation file sizes off of a CD. How does PPT Viewer 2003 load a presentation? Does the entire presentation get loaded into memory before running or does it operate more like a buffer pulling what's needed as it's needed? > I'm working with large (40-60mb) presentation file sizes off of a CD. > How does PPT Viewer 2003 load a presentation?

As the presentation plays it builds a cache and the presentaion is played from that. Very often you will see that playing the presentation a second time results in the over all time of the presentation dropping. > > I'm working with large (40-60mb) presentation file sizes off of a CD. > > How does PPT Viewer 2003 load a presentation?

So what would you expect the expectations to be Austin if I am running a 60mb presentation off of CD? Would users with the minimum system requirements for Viewer 2003 be able to successfully run the presentation from the CD without too much difficulty? > So what would you expect the expectations to be Austin if I am running > a 60mb presentation off of CD?

To me, that is a nuisance as it makes a huge difference on my system. However, in fairness to the MS developers, it would be worse to have it switched on and cause problems on machines that don't support it. But it would be nice to have a switch in the batch file for it!
