I tried the CDex program that you had on your website converted to wav and
that seems to have made it work. I am going to see if some other MP3 that I
didn't make works.

I tried to put in another MP3 this one made by Jukebox plus people trying to
advertise was already on my system still got the error. Has anyone been able
to get MP3's to work with the new 2007 Powerpoint, or is it just my settings
