Hi- When I open the Clip Organizer and click on the drop-down box "Results should be" and look at the Selected Media file types, there are only 2 types for Sound: AIFF Format Source and MIDI Sequence... nothing for MP3, WAV, Windows Media, etc. I am assuming that is why I can only hear an attached sound file in my presentaion if I right click on it and click Play... they won't play during the presentation. How do I add to the Media File Types? I have already re-installed and repaired, and have all updates. Thank you!!!!
 
I honestly have no idea what would be causing this problem, Rich. It seems
nobody else does, either, or you would have seen some suggestions by now,
I'm sure.

You might want to see what your MCI Media Settings look like in your
registry. Perhaps your system's not registered MP3, WAV, etc., and that's
why the Clip Organizer isn't recognizing them? See section 3 of
http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/multimedia.htm for info on
the MCI registry settings.
