Office 2010, PPT 2010 Specifically VERY slow scroll, loading, minimal pictures if at all, etc..

Ok, so i've heard people putting this topic out a few times, but i'm putting my own out, to help condense the issue for everyone, as people have still talked about this issue in topics that are 2years old... fail microsoft..
Topic I originally worked with: http://www.overclock.net/t/1256467/ms-office-2010-ppt-stupid-slow
System Specs:
i7, 920 @ 3.74ghz. 30 celcius idle, 50-55 celcius when maxed, on air.
Ati 5770 1gb gddr5 (original), Bought new... 6870 ati, 1gb gddr5...
Had 6gb ddr3, now 12gb ddr3.
Windows 7 ulti 64bit, installed on Sata 3 (6.0) 1tb 64mb cache hdd. (WD)
16gb SDHC Class 10 = Readyboost,
4gb Page file (on separate 1tb hdd, also sata III (6.0) 64mb cache, (WD)
When loading ppt, it's extremely slow loading any text, backgrounds, non backgrounds, etc. I load the tile view, it takes several mins. I switch to editor view, and bam, reloads the tiles and the main page...
When I type, it fills in slowly, or not at all, then stutter loads it...
This is a fresh install of office 2010 pro plus, fresh install of win7 ulti 64bit, sp1.
I use ppt weekly, for a church, I used office 2007, and it was instant, pure bliss, no hassle, worked like a charm, everything was in realtime, or faster... (if tweaked)...
I use ppt now, 2010, and it changed my work times to make their ppt from 30-45mins, to 3-4hrs...
I'd like to regain some of that time, to truly use office 2010.
I made a video of it, via my galaxy nexus, http://www.facebook.com/v/10151739996880217 , and it shows task manager & ppt side by side.
I've tried printer default change, tried going no background, tried disabling AERO. Have tried the registry del of
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word "data" deletion...
I'm fed up with this.
I do not want to deal with this issue much longer. I'm moderately skilled @ regedit, I can navigate, make sense of it for the most part. I am willing to manually tweak it, in order to "force" fix this issue.
I'd like to toss 6gb's of ram directly into ms office, just to make it work... load it all once (slow) then make it sing the rest of the way...
I need to use backgrounds, jpg's, etc. I need to use different fonts, it's apart of the process.. If i'm limited to NOTEPAD configurations for ppt... then microsoft can... (enter choice phrase of negativity here)....
Please, if anyone has a registry hack, adjustment, etc... i'm more then willing to try...
Please...anyone...
I've gone and manually recreated the ppt myself, and no change...
Please help...

Quote from the other's solution:
I'll get to the solution in a minute. Here's what I did to solve the problem.
Per Steve Rindsberg, I took all JPG files out of powerpoint. It
was still very slow. I deleted the master slide header and
now it runs fine, but looks kind of boring, especially since
this is a photography training class file. It kind of needs photos.
So I took the header.jpg (only 38kb in size), brought it into photoshop and
saved it as a png. Dragged that into PPT and it works fine. Now I played with
the options on saving the jpg file in photoshop. Turns out that if I turn off
the option to "embed ICC Profiles" from within photoshop, the jpg file works
fine in PPT. This option is turned on by default when saving files in
Photoshop (I have photoshop cs2).
Now I re-saved all the jpg photos and dropped them back into powerpoint, and
powerpoint still retains its speed. PROBLEM SOLVED.
Thanks to Lucy, John, Steve, Echo for all your suggestions.
Feel free to put this solution on your websites, and someone, Please pass this on to microsoft as a bug. There should be no reason that ICC profiles ruins powerpoint
performance.
Thanks to ALL!

For my case, I need to redo all my background pics in my template!
All the best,

Very slow scrolling window thumbnails clips

Very slow scrolling windows with thumbnail clips. The more files in the event, the worse it gets. It is very frustrating. Is in others it is the same? I have MacOookPro i7 early 2011, thunderbolt drives RAID0, 16GB memory, FCPX 10.0.7. After the hardware is decent.
Give some feedback, thank you.
P.S. I might add that this disadvantage are found from version 10.0.0.

You might want to look at either booting from your install dvd (insert, restart and hold 'C' down) and running disk repair from Utilities. Alternatively, and I always suggest any Mac user should have at least one, a 3rd party disk utility like DiskWarrior (there are others) is extremely useful.

Very slow page loading on Safari

I am having problems with my Mac. I am not sure if it is the Safari software or something else. For the past several weeks my computer has been very slow at loading pages, going to the next page, going back to a previous page etc. Can anyone tell me what I need to do or check to make it run faster. It used to run very fast. Thanks Vickie

I had a similar problem with Safari (or any browser) taking a very long time to load pages. Downloading files is fast (6 Mbit/s) so I knew my network speed was OK. I usually run wirelessly both at work and home and the problem was the same no matter where I was working. When I directly connected to an Ethernet line, browsing was fast again so I looked into the network setting for my airport connection and found I had switched the "Location" from "Automatic" to a specific DHCP setting. I don't know why but when I switched back to "Automatic" everything was fine again (super fast as before). Specifically, I just went to the "Apple" menu icon (top left and hit "Location->Automatic". That's all.

Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

I have the exact same problem.
Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

PS CC 2014 very slow to load and operate after 2014.2 update

I updated my Photoshop CC 2014 64bit today. It was working perfectly up to the update. Since the update, PSCC 2014 has been very, very slow to load and slow in use. I have uninstalled PS used the PS Cleaner and reinstalled through CC Desktop. The speed problem remains. Interestingly, 3D is the Menu feature that seems to take the longest to load. In other words, the program eventually loads, but 3D appears 6 or 7 seconds later. I don't know if this is significant. The setup was working fine up to the update.
Grateful for any ideas about what may be the problem and what I can do about it.
My system is a 3770K, with 32Gb ram, x4 SSDs one dedicated to OS and programs and the others to data, and an Asus GTX660 (2Gb) graphics card. I am using the latest driver from the Nvidia site. OS is Windows 7 64bit.
I am getting no error messages - just great sluggishness.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to get some sleep.
Changing "sniffer" made no difference I'm afraid. I have put it back to "sniffer.exe" having tried reopening with "~sniffer" twice with no success.
Resources. The maximum cpu resource used during the period from clicking the desktop icon to the menus in the program becoming usable is 23%.
At the end of the splash screen when "initializing panels" is briefly on the splash screen, the line for the resource meter for the cpu went red and said "not responding" - the red disappeared once the workspace was active:

My Mac book Pro is running very slow and the rainbow ball is appearing all the time. Any suggestions for clean up?? I have the OS X Lion system.

As well as what a brody asked :
- do you need more RAM? (run Activity Monitor and see how much free RAM - green - is available)
- do you Restart fairly regularly, e.g. at least once a week, to clear out any swap or temporary files?
- do you need to do maintenance, e.g. clearing out caches and unused logs, etc?

Premiere Pro CC locking up and very slow to load bigger projects

I am having a problem with premirepro cc locking up and very slow to load bigger projects.
Windows 8 machine

I am having the EXACT same issue and now we are WAY behind deadlines. We have Adobe for Teams on 3 computers, all are HPZ820, Dual Proc with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 @ 2.00GHz, 32 GB RAM, Dual Video Cards Quadro 6000 4GB, Windows 7 64 bit with all the latest patches. Everything worked on the first release of 2014 but last week there was an "update" to Premiere. Since this update, projects work for a short period. When you start a new project and add footage, you can scrub the footage and play the footage with no issue. But the more assets you add, simple Titles, it slowly starts to fail. Playing the timeline starts and stops and then finally the end result is you can't even play the timeline. The Program window is frozen. I have even tested starting a new project, adding assets one by one but no matter what, I get the same results.

Firefox is very slow to load the program or any link I click on.

Firefox and any link takes up to 40 seconds to load. Safari is lightning speed compared to Firefox. I have deleted history and changed to save 5 days, emptied cashe. Still very slow to load anything.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i try to load any page or the program its self

Ridiculously slow... and I am a long time user. But after a hard disc failure upon loading the latest version I sit and wait and wait and wait and wait. Wha....?

Safari very slow to load pages

Someone who help me with my Safari. Always that I want to go to a new page my Safari is very slow to load that page. It's loading the page for a long time without opening. I have done everything to fix it, but nothing has worked.
I have a Macbook Pro late 2011 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and my Safari is 8.0.3 version.
Here is a capture of what happens

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Firefox 9.0.1 is very slow to load some pages

I upgraded from FF6 to F9.0.1 and what a mistake.
Most sites, like www.bbc.co.uk, are very slow to load.
The upgrade to 9.0.1 is the only change I have made and would now like to go back to my previous version 6.0 but i am unable to locate the files to do this with to download
Can someone either make the older version of FF available or help me to get 9.0.1 up to speed.

9 is like Windows Me.
Epic Fail.
Adding nbrs to version is not a solution.
Better to go back to 3.6 and make that better rather than get in the version race with Chrome and IE.

One possible solution would be to organise your inbox into folders.
Its never relly good on any system to have one folder that has everything in it.
Try going to you web gui for that mail account and organise your folders and move mails from your inbox into corresponding folders for better organisation.
Several folders containing the same amount of one folder will usually load a little quicker as the folder may not be accessed to download its content unless veiwed.
So having 10 folders with organised content, and you inbox as an area thats to hold only new emails would work much much quicker with imap.
Most imap servers will only update the contents of a folder when its veiwed.
