HI Sonia, Thanks..
I wanted to use 2003 viewer as I have gifs in my pres which 97 viewer doesnt
support . BY loading the presentation into 2003 ppt and resaving it - I can
get sound to play and get around the 2000 / 2003 viewer bug - and works okay
when I use cd presentation option in 2003 and copy resulting files from cd
to hard drive in XP machine and windows 98 ..
However if I try and play direct from cd - In xp machine the sounds are
warbly
and 98 machine wont play sound unless it is played from a directory on the
cd ..
So I can get around my probs if the cd files are copied to hard drive for an
XP machine to get good sound again and I burn files to subdirectory on the
cd for a win 98 machine .. but I really wanted to distribute it as a cd auto
play type. THe win 98 prob is okay coz it will still run from cd as
mentioned but I want to get around the bad sound from CD on XP machine ...
THanks again ..any ideas ?
