I created a slide show in 2000 with one mpeg. I imported it from the same
folder the presentation is in. I then burned it and it works. However when
trying to open it 2003, PP needs to shut down. I have the SP1, tried the
links fix, saved it in 2003, re-inputted the mpeg within 2003. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the Critical
Update or Service Pack 1 for Office 2003 as soon as possible. From
PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for Updates".]

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]

Hello,

Did you know that you can automatically send a crash report to Microsoft
nearly any time an Office 2002 or Office System 2003 application crashes?

When the crash occurs a crash reporting dialog will appear with a message
that begins something like: "Microsoft Office <application> has encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." do the
following:

1) Click on "What data does this report contain?
2) Note down the following information (depending on problem you might not
get all of these items):

* AppName:
* AppVer:
* AppStamp:
* ModName:
* ModVer:
* ModStamp:
* fDebug:
* Offset:

3) There might also be a "bucket" number. If so, note down that number as
well.
4) Click "Close"
5) Click "Send Error Report" .... PLEASE!!!

If you post the information noted in steps 2 and 3 above to this newsgroup
I might be able to verify whether or not this is already a known issue and,
if it's known, possibly a way to avoid or fix the problem in the future.
