Re: Powerpoint music problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Just to recap... I'm using Windows98 and Powerpoint Version 2000 and CDex 1.50. Perhaps it is something funny with my computer. I downloaded CDex 151 first and every time I tried to open it, I would only get the dreaded "blue screen". I UNinstalled that one and then downloaded and installed CDex 1.50 and it works fine.. seems to do the conversion with no problem. It's interesting that the converted file plays just fine in my Winamp player but when I add it to a Powerpoint show, the music won't play... on my computer anyway. Perhaps it might on a computer with XP.. ??? I guess I'd better find someone to try that with.

I'm beginning to think I'll never get it figured out but thanks so much again for your time. I appreciate it.

I guess that it is PowerPoint under Win98 that does not like the changed MP3
file. I'm using CDex 1.51 on a Win98 machine. It does the conversion OK. It just
won't work in PowerPoint 2002 in my case on the 98 machine. Move the
presentation to an XP machine and it plays in the presentation just fine.

An addendum that Steve R might like to add to FAQ00155
