Hello Sonia
I see that many people are asking similar questions to this one. I can
successfully achieve the adding of an AVI file BUT, I cannot in the sessions
of my slides have the AVI file play automatically. It always requires a
mouse click to run...?
I am trying to setup a rolling demo and include an AVI file I have create
with Camtasia.
Plays fine when I click on it but is not what I am trying to achieve.
When I insert the AVI it asks if I wish to auto play and I click yes but
still no go? I have also tried testing the Custom Animation settings but
still not happening.
Can anybody suggest some tips or perhaps a good web resource that may
explain the auto play of an AVI?
Many thanks to all
Regards
Sean
Tried your suggestions here.
Here are some things you can try, one at a time, to see whether they correct
or change the problem. They all need to be done anyway, so it won't be a
waste of time.
1. Update your video driver. Go to the website of the manufacturer and
look for a current version of the driver for your version of Windows.
2. Make sure you have DirectX version 9 installed. Go to Start > Run, type
DXDIAG, click OK. The version no. you have installed will be displayed. If
it isn't V.9, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en and get it.
3. Read
http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/multimedia.htm and
verify that your MCI settings match the lists provided in the third section.
4. Finally, come back here and let us know if none of the above helps.
