I mean i know HOW to do it but when i do click on add sounds from Clip
organizer, it says to run set up again and click "Add or Remove Features" and
change the feature to "Run from My Computer"...How do i run set up and why do
i need to? It was working perfectly fine a few weeks ago when i make a
presentation and added sounds etc but i must have done something to "F" it
up. Sooo frustrating lol. Im not completely brainless when it comes to
powerpoint its just i don't get why it doesn't work NOW, when it was working
perfectly fine before and i havn't touched it since than.
 
I don't know why it's not working now. My guess is that you're clicking on a
clipart (clip sound, in this case) that's on the clipart gallery that's on
the CD, not on your computer.

If that's the case, one easy workaround would be to locate the clip online
and insert that instead.

To run setup, go to Windows Control Panel, Add-Remove Programs and click the
option to Repair or Reinstall, or whatever that is. Opt for a custom install
when prompted, then go in and choose "run from my computer" for the
appropriate item/feature in the list. If the message didn't say what feature
to run from your computer, I'd start with clipart/clip gallery. It's
probably under "shared features" or some such in the custom install list.

You'll want to be careful when inserting sound clips from online or from
your clip gallery. Many of the sound clips are MIDI or MP3, which are not
embedded into a presentation, and the links created when the clip is online
or in your clip gallery are easily (and also often and usually) broken.
