I have just bought a new note book using xp and power point 2007 I copied my
compete "my Docs" folder from my old computer (xp power point 2003) when I
run my presentations non of the embedded video clips will run. The pat to the
video appears to be the same. Is there any way of fixing this without having
to go into each presentation and changing the settings again as I have over
100 presentations on the computer.

Many thanks if anyone can help

Hi Richard,

are the video clips stored in the same folder as the presentation they
accompany? If not, it is a path issue. Vista uses another path for "My Docs"
and PowerPoint stores the whole path for multimedia files outside of the
presentation folder. I fear, you will have to re-insert the videos. (If
possible, move them to the presentation folder, before you do that.)

Best regards,
Ute
