MPG probs

[Alec Stonehouse]

Hi Group,

I cannot get mpgs to run on this

I have a brand new Samsung X20 laptop with Windows XP home edition.

I am running ppt 2003 and the problem is that it won't run an MPG that runs
perfectly well on another machine. All other ppt features seem fine - it had
a full install.

Any thoughts?

Yours perplexed..

Alec

It's a file the client gave me that runs fine other laptops.

Any MPG I try makes a flashing boxy crud effect and locks up the computer.

AVIs are fine!

Any help appreciated.
