wine 1.1.40; Ubuntu 9.10; PowerPoint 2007 slow

[graviton]

I successfully installed Office 2007 with Wine 1.1.40 on my Ubuntu 9.10 but when I want to start the visualization of my PowerPoint, the window becomes grey and the slide show takes time to come. As well as when I leave the slide show mode: the screen becomes black, I see the pointer but it takes time to come back to normal mode. Someone could help me?

Thanks for your answers!

Haven't seen that here.

Was this a clean install of Office 2007--no winetricks? If not, reinstall to a clean wineprefix without any winetricks, then set riched20 to native after installing.

IF it's a clean install: is this happening with all Powerpoint files, or just one in particular? What video card/drivers? Have you tried disabling desktop effects? Post console output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

It's surprising. I've just tested with another PowerPoint, the problem doesn't appear. Then I tested with the one the problem comes from, it seems to have disappeared. Maybe I had too many applications that were running at this moment?

Sorry for the disturbance.

Have you tried the free open source alternative, OpenOffice.org Impress? It can create, open, view and save PowerPoint presentations. I have been using it for my college work and so far it has been great.
