Got the movie, where's the text I should see?

That's a problem that graphic cards cause. The only solution would be to use
a video editing program and integrate you text into the movie.

As Ute says at the moment the only way is expensive add ons or integrate the
text into the movie - and here's a basic tutorial

Thanks TAJ, I might update it as it's pretty basic and seems very popular.

The only way to get text over a movie is to trnaform your movie into a GIF
animation (many soft on the web for that) though it make takes time

I've never heard of this being a graphics card issue.
There are three products that can do this with PPT:

OfficeFX
www.instanteffects.com

Ovation
www.seriousmagic.com

PowerPlugs: Video Backgrounds
www.crystalgraphics.com

I've use OfficeFX and Ovation with great success.
