Re: No sound on Win 2000

MP3s (MPEG Layer 3) are not embedded, Charlie. Only WAV files are embedded.
Possibly a small nit to pick, but it could be important. Hard to tell in
this case without knowing more.

Michael's suggestion to try the MP3s on your friend's computer outside of
PPT is a good one.

How did you insert the music into your presentations? How did you create
your CDs? Is the music saved on your CD along with the presentation file?
Assuming so, is the music all in one folder, or is the music specific to a
presentation included in the same folder the presentation is in? Or is
everything just loose on the CD with nothing in folders?
