video hanging in PowerPoint 2003

P

Petr

I have some short videoclips linked out from my presentations. They are on a
slide combined with text and set to run automatically after slide opening.
It runs quite ok, only from about 3rd or 4th slide with video in a row, the
clip starts with some "hesitations" after intial few frames. Then it goes
well to the end (not more than one or two minutes). Then after several
slides with video, irregularly, the PP hangs with processor being consumed
by 99% by PowerPoint.exe. I have allways to manualy (brutally) stop
non-reacting PP from the task manager and start from the beginning. Then it
runs till it reaches some point again, always different, and the same
happens.
The computer is a NB Acer TravelMate 6004, PP 2003, videos mosty coded by
DivX.
Any suggestions? It happens with hw acceleration both on and off, in any
resolution.
Thanks for any hints, it is already quite vital!
Peter
