WMV9 videos not playing in Powerpoint 2007

WMV7 and AVI files play fine. WMV9 files will insert, but only play the
first few frames. I'm running PPT 2007 on XP, all with latest patches and
Windows Media Player 11. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You can insert the music file to your presentation again by this way :
• First of all, the embedded video must be in the correct format.
Make sure it is either in Windows media file (.wmv) or in .avi format.
Save the video on your desktop so that it's easy to embed.
• Step 2
Open your PowerPoint presentation. Embed your video by using the
"Insert," "Movies and Sounds," and "Movie from File" commands.
Navigate to the video file you saved on your desktop and click "OK."
• Step 3
When your presentation is finished, save it as a packaged presentation
by using the "File," "Save As," PowerPoint Show. This will make it
transportable from one computer to the next. Otherwise, the video will
only save as a link. If you click on the link to the video on another
computer--even if it looks like a square box where the video should
be--it will not have point to anywhere as the video was not originally
saved on that computer.
• Step 4
After having saved, re-open your prepackaged file on another computer
to make sure the save worked and the video was transferred.
 
Thanks for your help, but it's a little more complicated than that. All of
the other videos I've inserted work fine (AVI, or WMV using v7 codecs).
However, any video that uses the WMV9 codec (standard or professional) only
plays for the first second of the clip. Any ideas?
