Hi All

I have tried on several win98se pc with ppt2000 to insert
a mpeg file, but it just displays a blank presentation.
Even running the slideshow show nothing. No error comes up.

I have tried all the solutions on KB and none of them
work. I have checked the system.ini and win.ini for
correct codecs and they all appear there. If i play mpeg
using MediaPlayer by itself it works. If I insert mpeg to
ppt2000 with win2000pro it works. The issue is only
apparent on win98se.

Many thanks in advance
Ronnie J
 
My first suggestion is to update your video drivers and your version of
DirectX.

HI Austin

I have already applied directx9 and video drivers are all
up-to-date. I am using different brands of pc/notebooks
all loaded with win98se and ppt2000(sp3)and I always get
the same problem. On one pc I uninstalled Quicktime, did
detect and repair for office200 and also re-installed
off2000 and I still get same problem.

Ronnie,

Where did the mpeg files comes from? By that I mean what software made them.
What settings were used? e.g. resolution. bandwidth. codecs.

Ronnie,

I believe you must install sp4 (win2K) and then update DirectX. WIn98 I am
uncertain about.

Hi Taj

Thanks for reply. I copied the mpeg file to a different
location and inserted it on a presentation and it worked.
Unfortunately, I do not have the details for the mpeg.
Thing is if I double click on the file it opens on Media
player w/o a problem, once it is inserted on a slide and
pc/notebook has win98se that is where I encounter problem.

Regards
Ronnie
