"microsoft office powerpoint has stopped working"

[cmmppt]

I have a PowerPoint presentation that has movies in it. When I play the slide
show, I get the error message "Microsoft office PowerPoint has stopped
working...." at certain point. If I play the slide show very slow, the
problem may not show up. If I remove the movies, it works fine. Does anyone
know what is wrong with it? It seems this only happens in Windows Vista. I
tried the same presentation on a Windows XP computer, it works fine.

Thank you very much for any help!

Thank you very much for your reply! My movies in the powerpoint presentation
actually can play. The problem is that I get the error message "microsoft
office powerpoint has stopped working" in the middel of the presentation and
the powerpoint restart itself when I skip the slide with the movie or go too
fast.

Guy,
Try some other ways:
Burning the presentation to video or DVD may works. Office PowerPoint 2007
does not support the direct burning of content to any DVD formats. As an
alternative, copy your presentation to a folder, and then use DVD-burning
software to import the content and create a DVD. DVD-burning software, such
as PPT to DVD Burner(http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/ppt_to_dvd/),it will
retain the original music, animation, movie clips, and slide transitions in
PowerPoint presentations,and may addresses your issue.

Hi

It sounds like maybe a codec issue on the Vista machine (but I'm no
expert...). I would start by looking at the tutorials here:

Or try the PFCPro trial:
