kim Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Third observation:Specifying an icon for the exe file DOUBLES the compile time. In my case, the exe file compiles in 3 minutes. When I specify an icon, P2E still takes 3 minutes to count up to 100% but then it takes another three minutes before the hard disk activity ceases and the exe is finally created.- Kim Quote
Igor Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Dear Kim,I was wondered that the compilation takes so a long time (3 minutes) on your computer! Couldn't you let us know a little bit about configuration of your PC and size presentation, please?PC: CPU, memory, hard drive, version of WindowsPresentation: size of the produced .exe file, a number and size of music files; a number of slides.Thank you, Quote
Guest guru Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Igor, also the issue of *.ico file is really very strange... How is it possible this little file doubles (!) the time of pte executable creating? Quote

I am glad that v.4 will address this problem.- Kim Quote
LumenLux Posted January 31, 2003 Report Posted January 31, 2003 Kim, your jpg file size of 700 kb - 1.1 mb is much larger than most of us have ever found necessary. Perhaps there is a reason you must have them so large, but you will find in almost all cases, the large size will only encumber your presentation while adding nothing to viewing quality. Quote
jayspry Posted January 31, 2003 Report Posted January 31, 2003 As I stated in your first posting, I think your are running into resource problems on such a small system compared to the large project. I agree 100% with LumenLux.jayspry Quote
