Re: powerpoint audio issues with XP, PPT 2003 package for cd - deteriorated sound etc

I tried it on the XP system that the cd was created on and also on another
XP computer elsewhere - exactly same symptoms - I tried original cd I burnt
and also another I burnt using burning software on my 98 machine with same
symptoms ...running the same files from hard drive okay but from files on
cd - changes sound ... its strange it works fine from win 98 but not XP and
cd files were created on XP machine ! From memory I tried opening ppt file
on cd with powerpoint and using view show with same results as using ppt
viewer exe
Maybe I should go back to XP machine and re insert the audio . The version I
am trying was from one created in 2000 and resaved in 2003 and using package
to cd - I didnt redo sound insertions.. or maybe I should try making an exe
or save wavs into ppt instead of it linking ? Would it be possible to send
you my ppt and 1 shortened wav for you to try ..I dont want to put you to
too much trouble but it is an interesting phenomena - it would be about 3.8

THANKS AGAIN ...Charles
