Powerpoint does not play animated gifs. However, Windows
Media Player plays them just fine. Any ideas?

Animated GIFs run fine in PowerPoint 2003 if you insert them as Pictures >
Picture from File. It may be related to the fix that is available for
PowerPoint 2003. Check to see whether you have it installed. Go to Help >
Check for Updates. That will take you to the Office Online site. Follow
the crumb trail and click on Check for Updates twice.

update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]
Hello,
Due to a bug in GDI+ (which returns the wrong number for how many times a
animated GIF should repeat) animated GIF's loop one fewer times during
PowerPoint 2003 slide show than the settings specified within the GIF file.
Because of this, GIF's set to play once (not repeat) actually don't play at
all (only show the first frame of the animatedd GIF), GIF's set to play
twice (repeat once) only play once (don't repeat), and so on and so on.
Microsoft is aware of this issue (a bug has been entered into the Windows
database <the owners of GDI+).
