Dear Community

When I try to insert *.avi files into Powerpoint I am always advised
"Microsoft Powerpoint cannot display this type of sound or movie"

I have Real Player Version 10.5
I also have Windows Media Player Version 10.00.00.3646

I run Powerpoint 2002 (10.2623.2625)

My avi files play perfectly on both Real Player and Mindows Media Player.

I do have Adio and Visual CODECS correctly installed when I look at Control
Panel/Sound & Audio devices/Hardware

Can anyone advise a way for someone not very technical to bring my avi files
into a powerpoint presentation please

See the information at
http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/multimedia.htm . Chances are
that Real Media has hijacked your MCI settings, so read section 3 and do a
careful comparison of the settings on your system to the listings in the
tutorial.
