Same old .AVI playing problems.

I know this has been reported a number of times but none of the fixes
seem to work. My father is trying to have PPT 2003 play an avi
unsuccessfully. WMP 10 is installed with newly updated codecs, Direct
X should also be up to date. WMP plays the file fine outside of PPT.
The file imbeds fine and no error message is produced when it is
clicked. The file flashes the first few miliseconds of the proper
movie and then goes to a black box. The flash makes me think that PPT
isn't having a problem locating the file. Interestingly, when the
slideshow is maximized to full screen and the movie is clicked, it will
also maximize to full screen and play fine. He'd like to have the
movie play when the slide show is full screen without the movie
becoming fullscreen. I wants to be able to show a still image next to
a playing movie. Thoughts?

Thanks

Try moving the presentation and the video file to a folder with a shorter
path. Example: C:\test".
