linking music and video

[RChannell]

Using Microsoft windows 2000 and power point.
I am loading power points from several speakers for a meeting.
I am coping their presentations from a cd onto my hard drive. Some of them
have music and video linked to their presentation.
I am coping everying from their CDs over.
When I go to power point and launch their presentations, their music or
video will not play.. I have tried to re-insert them, but they aren't linking
up and working. It doesn't give me any error messages or anything.

Any suggestions?

1. Make sure that you don't alter the folder structure when you copy the files
to your hard drive. If the CD has the presentation and music files in the root
directory, keep the files together in a single folder when you put them on your
system.

2. It is very possible that your system either doesn't have the needed codecs
installed, or your MCI settings have been tampered with. See

story.

What Sonia said.......This would be my number 1 choice....

1. Make sure that you don't alter the folder structure when you copy the
files to your hard drive. If the CD has the presentation and music files
in the root directory, keep the files together in a single folder when you
put them on your system.

.....but also... my 2nd choice would be ... if this does not work for each
presentation.... try putting all the media (videos sounds etc) in the same
folder as the .ppt files.
