When I go insert>movies and sounds>movie from file and select a .avi file,
powerpoint says that it has encountered an error and has to close. What can
I do to stop this?
 
Try opening PowerPoint and start a new blank presentation. Insert the AVI.
Does the same thing happen?

Try going to Start > Run and type mplay32.exe and click OK. Go to File > Open
and locate your AVI. Click on the "play" icon. Does the video play?
 
I have been trying for a while, but it doesn't work. The video doesn't play
when I try to play using mplay32.exe
