Why is my computer freezing when I add a video?

[Guest]

I am working in PPNT XP. When I try to add a Windows Media Player video (wmv
file) PPNT freezes....

WHY?!?!?

Thanks.

Need some more information. How are you adding it? What type of video is
it? Where did it come from?

I am adding a wmv file from a website (it is a free download from a
non-profit so it is ok to use) on internet safety.
I am going into PPNT and trying to insert the video...but when I hit to
insert it my computer freezes!

Any help is appreciated

Does the video play properly in teh MCI player? (To test click Start > Run
and enter mplayer2.exe)

Can you share the URL for the video? It might help us help you figure out
what is going on with it.
