Richard-
Two suggestions:
One- get the SR2 for Office- there are some updated PP files.
Two- Take the suggestion about more memory. I have 64meg, and use a 1gig
hard drive as my 'vitrual' memory, but wiuld like to get at least 512meg
since I have started doing graphics.
When I had a 66mHz pentium and went from 32 to 64 meg, the increase in
system speed was surprising! When I went to 200mHz and kept the 64meg-- the
increase was disappointing.
With memory so cheap now, the best way to speed up and insure the system
stability is to put as much memory into it as you can....
Remember the old saying, you can never be too thin, too rich or have too
much memory!

I would suspect low memory. I use 128 M ram and don't have any
problems with Powerpoint or any other graphics-intensive software.
You might try increasing the virtual memory allotment on the hard
drive.
