Previously, I could load movies from my hard drive onto slides. Now I when I
try to run loaded movies, I can see the first frame but then a white screen
appears. Strangely, I can load movies from a jump drive and run them from
there. I have loaded iTunes and RealPlayer. Are these interfering with the
Windows XP player? I have reloaded MS office and the problem persists. Can
I fix this problem?

Move the presentation and media files to a shorter path. Example: C:\test"
