mpegs wont run in PP2003 but will in windows.

[Mary]

I have a presentation done in PP2002. When I upgraded to
a new computer, I now have powerpoint 2003, and the mpegs
in this presentation will not run within powerpoint. They
run fine in windows when I double-click them, but will
not run in powerpoint. I have read all about the codecs
and that does not seem to be the issue. Can anyone help?

Have you tried them in mplay32.exe? Do they play there?
