I have a WMV file that is 24M, it's a photo movie with sound I created and
would like to have play during my Power Point.

Every time I try and load it in the powerpoint it just frezzes the
powerpoint. I know it's a large file, and yet I don't see where it says
anything about file being too big...

Thanks..

John thanks for the notes, and I have read those,,,and it doesn't seem to be
that...I have changed the name and have it stored on the C drive of my
computer....

Each time it trys to insert it just freezes up the computer...any other
thoughts???

Currently it's a WMV..file so I shouldn't have to convert it to another
format???

Thanks...

Dan,

You may have this figured out by now.

Go to Control Panel/Display/settings/advanced/troubleshoot/hardware
accelerator.

Move the button to the middle or even on to the left of that.

Hit apply. Try to insert again. Should work.

Dan, can I assume you made this with Movie Maker? If so it may not be
compatible with the MCI player which PowerPoint uses. As a suggestion, give
PFCPro a try, it should resolve the issue. (It has a two week fully
functioning trial and should get you out of the woods at no cost.)
