Cannot play Mpeg movies in Powerpoint - errors out. Can someone .

[Fred M.]

MS office 2003 Powerpoint. Errors out, crashes and dies, whenever I attempt
to play a mpeg movie. Has anybody run across this problem? If so, do you
know what the fix may be?

Thanks,

Fred M.

I have seen it and it seems to be related to Windows XP SP2. The work around is
to convert the MPG to WMV or AVI.
