I have a PowerPoint presentation that has movies in it. When I play the slide show, I get the error message "Microsoft office PowerPoint has stopped working...." at certain point. If I play the slide show very slow, the problem may not show up. If I remove the movies, it works fine. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? It seems this only happens in Windows Vista. I tried the same presentation on a Windows XP computer, it works fine. Thank you very much for any help!

Thank you very much for your reply! My movies in the powerpoint presentation actually can play. The problem is that I get the error message "microsoft office powerpoint has stopped working" in the middel of the presentation and the powerpoint restart itself when I skip the slide with the movie or go too fast.

Hi It sounds like maybe a codec issue on the Vista machine (but I'm no expert...). I would start by looking at the tutorials here: http://www.playsforcertain.com/tutorial.htm Or try the PFCPro trial: http://www.playsforcertain.com/download.htm Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au "cmmppt" wrote in message news:601BEEA6-97CF-4D29-9EF8-E94AC2A38F75@microsoft.com... >I have a PowerPoint presentation that has movies in it.
