I have some hundred PP03 presentations on my external hd / network server.
Most have linked wmv files.
in PP03 I can take the HD drive, oder copy the folders and everything plays
just fine.
In PP07 these media links does't work. If I relink the media files it works,
but this is impossible for the amount of files.

What can I do? Is there a 'path variable' in PP07?
 
Whenever linking files (sound, video, hyperlinks) to a PPT presentations that
will have to play from another computer you should alway place the linked
file in the same folder as your PPT file. Then make the link. PPT always
first looks for linked files inside the same folder if it doesn't find the
file and the path location is diffent from when the link was created it will
ask you for the new location.

The only suggestion is to try placing your PPT file in the same folder as
your video and run it from there. It might work.
