They no longer load in to power point nor do they show in my ppt show or pps. This also holds true for past pps files.. Any suggestions?
 
Hi Fab,

Have you, by chance, loaded QuickTime recently? Have you tried installing (or reinstalling) the latest version of WMP?
 
No quiktime was not loaded recenty. I do have the latest version of WMP. The videos play fine in WMP but in PPT I only see the first frame.
 
Try this:

Videos play correctly on computer but not on projector (black box)

Question: A very high end PowerPoint show which contains multiple video
files launched directly out of slides works great on my laptop, but when I
show it through a projection device it does not behave the same way. For
example, WMP files which run inside a slide on my laptop work fine but when
projected they expand to full screen. WMP files that run by clicking on
them run inside the slide on my laptop but launch WMP and run full screen on
the projector. How can I make the projected presentation behave the same
way as it does on my laptop monitor?

Some video drivers seem to have an automatic "bigger is
better" function that behaves as you describe.

I've read that some drivers have the option to shut this
dubious feature off.

A fix that has worked for me is:

1) hook up the external display

2) change the video driver settings so the external
display is the "primary" display

this fix may introduce some undesirable side effects like
dual display using outline view on laptop display and
normal view on external display would be reversed.
