I have a laptop running Win XP and using office 2003, the problem I am having
is when I insert video clips into a presentation and try to play them back
Powerpoint hangs and I have to use End Task to kill it.  The video clip will
play fine on it's own when not in powerpoint.

Anyone any ideas??

Is this happening with all videos or just this specific one?

That really sounds like a video card driver issue.  Look on your video card
manufactures web site and see if they have an updated driver.
