PowerPoint Opens Very Slowly

We have a PowerPoint built in Office 2013. If I open this PowerPoint (132 slides, 4 charts each) in Office 2013, it takes over 5 minutes to open all the slides. If I open it using Office 2007, it takes 5 seconds. I tried opening the
PPT on several different machines with Office 2013 - same results – 5 minutes. I copied the PPT to my home machine, with Office 2010 and it opened in 5 seconds. These charts are not linked to any Excel files.
The 5 minute delay is that it slowly opens each slide and you can see the slides on the left side slowly appearing.
It’s the Excel for each chart – I opened the Windows Task Manager and Excel is using 20-29% CPU while the PPT is opening and as soon as the PPT is open all the way, Excel CPU dropped to zero. You can tell it’s for each chart, as the CPU goes
up and down, down to 20%, up to 26%. I tried opening on the creation machine with 2013 and another machine with 2013 – same results - high CPU usage by Excel.
I tried this under both Windows 7 and Windows 8 - same results.
I tried the advice of one of your technical support people and it did not work:
Click on File > Options > Advanced and under the
Display group of options make sure to check the options Disable hardware graphics acceleration and
Disable Slide Show hardware graphics acceleration.

Hi RonS-KK,
We can try these methods to check if it works.
1. Open PowerPoint 2013 in safe mode (Press win +r, type PowerPoint.exe /safe). It can disable some add-ins which cause PowerPoint 2013 running slowly.
2. Check your \TEMP folder for excess files and delete them.
3. Perform your Operating system in clean boot mode, it can remove conflict with some other applications.

After updating to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2 PDFs open VERY Slowly

I am using Acrobat PRO on a workstation (Windows 7 Ultimate - Service Pack 1)
After updating to Acrobat PRO 9.5.2, all pdf files open VERY slowly (30-60 secs). It does not appear to matter if the file is local to the workstation or on the network. Also the size of the file does not seem to matter or whether this is the first file opened or a subsequent file.
In addition just opening Adobe Acrobat is equally slow.
I have tried turning off the anti-virus software. No impact.
Any suggestions appreciated...

Have you tried "Repair Acrobat Installation" to see if it makes any difference? To do this try this:
Help >> Repair Acrobat Installation.
Another option is to press the shift key while clicking or double clicking on the PDF file to open. this stops loading all the useless fonts in the document and other useless plugins in acrobat.
The third option is to delete the registry key that appears to be corrupted . However, if you nothing about registry keys, then you can't do it unless your company systems people can help you. The registry entries are:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Acrobat Reader
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Adobe \ Adobe Acrobat
It is a question of renaming them while you have exited from acrobat. Once this is done, restart the system and start/launch the acrobat and the fresh keys will be generated. PLEASE NOTE: DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE THE HELP OF YOUR SYSTEMS PEOPLE IN YOUR COMPANY.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop opens very slowly ...

Heyo Community!
First of all, my english is bad so maybe you find the sense of my sentences...
my problem:
Photoshop CS3 opens very slowly. Not the programm, i mean the files. When i make FILE -> NEW and make my setting and press OK it takes about 45 seconds to 1 minute to make the new file.
When the file is open, it works normal till i want to make the next file.
anyone maybe has a solution for my problem?
thx forward Mario

This is a known bug and has been reported many times in the forum.
The solution, weird as it sounds, is to make a "generic printer driver" your default printer. If you don't have one, download it here:

Mail in Mavericks is a disaster for me. Mail opens VERY slowly and cannot be deleted. I can move copies of messages to On My Mac but the original stays in the In Box. Scrolling works then it doesn't then it does. I tried every advice here; nothing helps.

I've read and tried all the solutions proffered to others about Mail in Mavericks and scrolling issues as well. They either are not applicable (hard drive seems fine; is less than half full; permissions have been repaired; Disk Utility finds no hard drive issues) or don't work (rebuilding, removing envelope files and re-importing, removing various preference files).
I have about 200,000 emails in four In Boxes. Prior to Mavericks this was not a problem. I have tried to remove them in case that helps but when I move them to a new folder in "On My Mac" the new folder is (very slowly) created but the original messages stay in the In Box as well. I went through one box and deleted over 52,000 messages -- or so I thought. When I closed mail later, I got a message saying the messages could not be moved to trash. They are in the In Box now.
Maybe the problem is not Mavericks, but it started when I upgraded, and except for scrolling, which has been problematic elsewhere as well but no where more than in Mail, everything but Mail seems to be working ok.
Are other people having problems to this extent? I can wait a little while for a fix but I get over 2,000 emails a day (yes, a lot of spam) and I don't think I can go on in perpetuity without the ability to delete messages. I've used Apple Mail since its inception and would prefer to keep it but may be forced out.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
While logged in as Guest, launch Mail and set up one of your IMAP accounts. 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.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Forms page opens very slowly for single user

Hi ,
We have a user in our EBS environment names OPERATIONS under which all scheduled custom concurrent programs run.
The problem is it takes a long time just to open the forms page when I login as operations user , but when i login via other users such as sysadmin, the forms page opens very quickly.
Any particular reason for it ?
EBS 11.5.10.2
DB 11.2.0.2
Thanks
Vicky

Hi,
One reason which i can see is:
Since you said all the concurrent programs are running under this user name, I presume MOAC. is set for all the Org's for this user and as a result when the form is opened it has to fetch data for all the Org's for this users, whereas for other users it might be fetching data only few Org's.
How to confirm this:
1. Please enable the FND:Debug log for this users and check the data for MOAC assignment.
2. Repeat the same steps for a different user and compare the Org's initialized.
Hope it helps!!

Formulas in Workbook causing the Workbook to open very slowly

Hi Everyone,
I have a very long pending issue fro our users. We have a workbook which has two queries inserted. And there is a Formula which is hardocded up to 5000 rows. And due to thiis workbook is opening very slolwly.
The Formulas is
=IF(BExGetData($X$3,$X$6,$B13,$X$4,$X$5,$G13,W$11,W$12)="#NV",,BExGetData($X$3,$X$6,$B13,$X$4,$X$5,$G13,W$11,W$12))
The above formula replaces #NV value with a blank and then if there is any other value apart from #NV, then it calculates a different value in the back end. Since the business , does not know howmany rows of data comes, so he hardcoded the formula for 5000 rows as this is the maximum count.
Can anyone please provide a solution to avoid so many hardcoded formulas and have an alternative using some macross.
Please feel free to ask questions?
Regards,
A

Any ideas on this.............. This is a IP Workbook . Basically the formualas are written to 5000 times in the workbook to perform those functions. So, when there are no 5000 rows of records, then also formulas are calculated. Is there any way to write a Macros for the same and include the formula once in the Workbook and loop itusing macros code. And this loop should work for the no.of rows that are present in the workbook. may be 1 rowto 5000 rows and so on.
Regards,
A

SSRS Report in PDF format opening very slowly in SharePoint

HI All,
I have a SSRS report which is being hosted in SharePoint.
Currently I am opening the report in PDF format in SharePoint but it is taking a lot of time to render.
It would be very helpful if any one helps me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hi sudipta,
According to your description, it takes too long to render the report on SharePoint site when accessing it. Right?
In this scenario, it can be many possibilities which will reduce the report performance. We suggest you check the report on ReportServer first. Go to the ReportServer ExecutionLog to see which part takes more time.
Then we need to do some troubleshooting to improve the report performance. Here we have a article for your reference:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

PDF files open very slowly or not at all.

I am experiencing an issue on a clients network where most pdf files open extremely slow or not at all. This issue is being experieced by both pc and mac uses, computers on and off the domain. Any one connected to the network. Has anyone seen an issue like this before. We are currently having Cisco troubleshoot the internet router but are not currently seeing any issues there. The isp has indicated that the circuit has tested cleanly. The issue is even seen when trying to download the pdf, it just seems to hang around 80-90 percent of the download.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreceiated.

It MAY be that Adobe software slowness problems are caused by having a network
printer as default... with the cure being to always have a local printer as a
default (you don't have to USE it, just have it set to local as default) and
this may be accomplished by using an Adobe Generic Printer Driver

Preview opens very slowly

Preview seems to be a little quirky. It takes a while to open a file (pdf) accross our server and frequently I'll need to try to open it 2 or 3 times. Anybody have this problem?

This is an example of what happens, although i've also experienced slightly different effects.
Essentially, whatever's on my desktop (open browser windows, finder windows, documents)... all become fractured and pieces appear THROUGH other pieces.
But, when you say (@SDPxray89) that it happens when waking from sleep - do you mean IMMEDIATELY when waking? As if your computer's asleep, you trigger it to wake and then Blammo- problem?
I can't tie my issues to sleep, as they occur after i've been working for a while - and as far as i can tell/remember, only while i'm primarily working in Safari. I don't think i've experienced this while working on any other app (Adobe Creative Suite, Final Draft, Mail, etc.), although the problem does affect those apps.
As you can see, even the overall finder menu bar is affected. In THIS instance, that Green circle icon is repeated three times down in the desktop area. I also have examples where the entire top menu bar is either gone or moved down into the window....

MAIL opens very slowly.

MAIL takes about 3 minutes to open. And it takes several minutes to catch up when it's been idle for a while. Once it's running it responds normally, but "checking in" to MAIL has become impractical. I have 4.4 GB of stored mail, which will come close to filling my iCloud space when all free accounts soon get downgraded to 5 GB. I'm willing to accept MAIL's sluggishness as a consequence of storage burden and am willing to pay more to solve the problem, but I've had lots of stored mail for a long time and only in recent months has MAIL slowed down seriously. Any suggestions?

Quit Mail if it's running. Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sqlite3 L*/C*/*.mail/*/L*/*/*/*.db vacuum
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
You should see a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) appear below what you entered. If not, press return. You can then quit Terminal and relaunch Mail. Test.
Note: This procedure will have no effect unless you quit Mail when you begin.

Pages open quickly in current tab but new tabs open very slowly

The new tabs open at about the same speed as opening another copy of Firefox. This has been happening since my Norton Security crashed and disappeared. I am working with Norton to reinstall but it will not install the new download.

Right-click on the bookmark button. Depending on any add-ins you have, the context menu may offer you a range of options e.g. Open (in existing tab), Open in New Tab, Open in New window, etc
Try the Tab Mix Plus add-in.
