After installing XP Pro SP1 powerpoint ceases to play any movies. When I
insert the movie from a file, I see the first frame, but when I play the
movie the area goes blank. I have done a clean windows install a number of
times and have the same problem with PPT 2002 and 2003 (without any other
software loaded on my system). Installing all the windows updates hasn't
helped. It happens with AVI, MPG, and WMV formats. I tried playing the
movies using the MCI Media Player (MPLAY32.EXE), and they all play just
fine! According to the internet and newsgroups, "if they play in MCI, they
should play just fine in PowerPoint." But they don't. Any ideas?
