I want to burn my presentation to a disk. I will be playing the slideshow on
another computer. When I tried this before, It didn't save the sounds and the
other computer couldn't find the files. Is there a way to save the
presentation with the sounds included.

Only WAV sounds of sufficiently small size can be embedded in the
presentation, but there are other things you can do. Check out this entry
from the PPT FAQ:

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation

Try going to TOOLS > OPTIONS and hit the general tab.

In the box labelled "link sounds with file size larger than" change the
value to a much larger number (ie bigger than your biggest sound file)
