Inserting a WMV file

[dan]

I have a WMV file that is 24M, it's a photo movie with sound I created and
would like to have play during my Power Point.

Every time I try and load it in the powerpoint it just frezzes the
powerpoint. I know it's a large file, and yet I don't see where it says
anything about file being too big...

Thanks..

John thanks for the notes, and I have read those,,,and it doesn't seem to be
that...I have changed the name and have it stored on the C drive of my
computer....

Each time it trys to insert it just freezes up the computer...any other
thoughts???

Currently it's a WMV..file so I shouldn't have to convert it to another
format???

Thanks...

Do you have another system to try it on?

Dan, can I assume you made this with Movie Maker? If so it may not be
compatible with the MCI player which PowerPoint uses. As a suggestion, give
PFCPro a try, it should resolve the issue. (It has a two week fully
functioning trial and should get you out of the woods at no cost.)
