movie not playing properly when zoom to full size

I've done the whole PFC Media thing but what's happening is that when I
preview the movie it works fine but when I zoom to full size, the music
distorts really badly and the movie plays a bit slower. I've tried
un-installing and re-installing Powerpoint and I've de-fragged my hard drive
in case it was too slow, but it still hasn't worked.
Any ideas would be most welcome.
 
Lollie,

It takes a lot of computer power to both run a PPT pressie and play a video
full screen. Can you describe what sort of machine you have. (CPU, RAM,
Etc.)

The computer I'm using is an AMD Athlon XP running on Windows XP, 1.86 GHz
and 192 MB of RAM.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Lollie
 
In my opinion, 192 MB of RAM is not enough to do what you are attempting. I
would suggest adding more RAM. For Windows XP and PowerPoint I would want
at least 512 MB of RAM.

That's not really as huge an amount of RAM as it once seemed. XP eats a lot, so
does PowerPoint; if you use the computer a lot, bumping the RAM would be be a
relatively inexpensive investment in overall satisfaction.

How much RAM? At today's prices, the answer is usually "As much as it'll hold"
