inserting .wmv video problems

[K Birch]

I am running Windows 98SE with Office 2000 and Windows Media Player 9. I am currently preparing a training presentation which includes an operational video. The video was originally a .mov file that has been converted to .wmv. When trying to insert this movie from file I get an error message about non standard format or Quick Time not installed properly. I do not have Quick Time installed since it is a Windows Media file. If I insert as an object I get a no driver error message
This process works on other computers one with Windows 2000 and one with windows XP. Is there a reson why this will not work on my computer.

Most likely it's your MCI settings, which reside in the system.ini and
windows.ini files. See

explanation. Section three covers the MCI settings.

I tried correcting the MCI settings but that did not seem to help. I had to update to Windows XP to correct this problem. Thanks for your help.
