I was building a presentation in PP 2000 (I know, I need to upgrade) like I
have a million times, but suddenly I stopped getting any sound from the
objects I have been inserting. Still get sound when I play them in Media
Player, but they refuse to play in powerpoint anymore. Anyone have any
suggestions?

maybe the 'total path length' is to long to the sounds you have been
inserting.

as a test
try putting your sounds in this folder

c:\test

then, in powerpoint, try using

insert menu > sounds > from file

navigate to
c:\test

and insert a sound

does that play?

Too bad - what sort of sound files are they?

..midi
..wav
..mp3

etc

Right-click the sound in the clipart gallery and choose Properties. That
will show the path to the file -- where it lives on your computer. Go there,
right-click the sound file and copy, then right-click and paste it in the
folder with your presentation.
