Hi,

I use powerpoint 2000 on a desktop, under Windows 98. I have had n
problems with the desktop computer (which is where the presentation
are created). When I try to run one of my presentations WITH VIDE
CLIPS on a laptop with Windows XP and Powerpoint 2002, I get th
following problem:

All slides and photos run well.
Video will not play, but will give either a black screen or the firs
image of the clip only. Clicking on it will result in the "han
cursor" flickering, but that is all.

The WEIRD PART: if I attempt to run the video clip (and fail), then g
to the next slide, AND THEN BACK TO THE VIDEO SLIDE, the video wil
play! Unfortunately, this is a major inconvenience. Also, one of th
videos plays in "full screen mode" even though it is not supposed to.
Maybe this is a helpful clue ... I don't know.

The video clips are of 2 different types: .avi and .mpg. I could no
even get the .avi clips to work at all.

When I run the presentations on my own desktop, the presentation i
seamless. I have to give 3 presentations in the next 2 weeks and I a
getting stressed that the video clips won't work.

Please help if you have any ideas! Your thoughts will be muc
appreciated!

Thanks,

Jaso
