I have a user that inserted an ActiveMovie Streaming
Format (ASF) file in his presentation. It works fine on
his PC, but not on the presentation PC. The only
difference I could find was that his PC had Windows Media
Player 6, and the other had version 9.
The symptoms are the same as in the Technet bulletin PSS
ID Number: 266983. If you try to play the movie while
editing the slide, you get this truncated message:
"The specified file cannot be played on the specified MCI
device. The file may be corrupt, not in the correct
format, or no fil"
This is only supposed to happen with .mov (Quick Time)
movies, not .asf movies.
It worked fine on my PC, until I upgraded to Windows Media
Player 9; subsequent roll-back to version 6 did not fix
the problem.
The asf file will play in WMP (either version), but will
not play in Powerpoint.
