Powerpoint 2003 - movies not found but ...

[Guest]

I created many presentations. After I changed my computer, powerpoint 2003
presentations doesn't find the movies.

OK: from some discussions i understand the problem. If the presentation and
movies are not in the same directory, powerpoint 2003 saves the paths to the
movies. These can not be changed.

But:
I have got two maschines, on which i installed pwoerpoint 2003.
- if I open these presentations on maschine A and I want to play the movies,
I get the message: "Cant find Movie" and I only can press "ok".
- if I open these presentations on maschine B and I play the movies, I get
the message, that the movie wasn't found and if I want to search for it. I
than can choose the direktory to the movie.

How can I fix maschine A to ask the same question as maschine B. I have al
lot of presentations, where i have to fix this problems.

Thanks for any information.

linked movies don't play anymore. But

Actually, they can, and that might be a solution for you. See:
