Vista ships with a very small collection of codecs. You may want to
consider installing this codec pack;

On the XP pro machine, I would suggest downloading and re-installing Windows
Media Player 10. (Not 11) This should sort out any codec issues.

Yes, home machine is Dell xps 410 running Vista Ultimate (already
installed);
I added office 2007.
Office laptop has always been XP Pro and office 2003 until a few weeks
ago.
Now, the laptop is still xp pro, but with office 2007 installed.

For past several years have had no problems running .wav, .mp3, or .wma
clips
in PPT 2003 under XP Pro.
----
Workplace has now switched my laptop to office 2007, and so I changed
computers to a Dell xps 410 running Vista Ultimate and office 2007.
--PPTs have the traditional "ppt" extension and the top of screen
indicates
I am in [compatiblity mode]"
--I then "publish | package for cd" without viewer as my laptop already
has
office 2007 installed.
--Noticed that my audio-video clips now get prefaced with the software
used
to open and play. Have been using Ashampoo Photo Commander 5 for trims
and
sorts and see "APC.MP3," or "APC.AVI," or "APC.WMA" in the type column.
Set
default to be Windows media player, and designations went away, but
audio
clips will still not play.
--Video clips .AVI, .MPG, and, of course, .WMV all play fine alone and
within PowerPoint.
==============
--Some .WMA clips play and others do not
--NO .MP3 clips play whatsoever. I have tried delete and then insert
but
no
success.
--ALL clips were recorded prior to 1920, so should be no DRM issues.
--Am on cable broadband and notice that if I double-click on an mp3
clip
within File Explorer, there is a delay of 4 seconds, then Net activity,
then
begins playing at the ten second mark. Assume this is consistent with
checked
box to "download codecs automatically."
--Do NOT see same Net activity after "packaging for CD" on the Vista
Dell
and then running on the XP Pro laptop, but MP3s and WMAs no longer play
back.
==============
--a friend suggested to me that office 2007 is VERY strict as to the
"legal
nature" of media clips and I may have some .MP3 clips that were created
under
the lame codec which he thought Microsoft office would not recognize.
--He suggested that I dl the Fraunhofer codec which Office 2007
supports,
along with the MS Media Encoder and then run all of my audio through
the
Media Encoder to ensure the "Fraunhofer seal of approval" from PPT.
--I purchased the Dell with Vista Ultimate already installed, along
with
Media Player 11.0.6000.6324, so when I went to the MS website to dl
Media
Converter I was informed this would be version 9 and sent Vista owners
to
"article 929182 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base" for the hotfix to the
issue
of running under Vista. Tried to dl and install, but is in a loop
requiring
me to pre-install some other program first, then keeps coming back to
the
first program: Net result is NO install.
-----------------
Can anybody help? I am already a week behind on several PowerPoint
presentations. There is NO online help I can locate (aside from this
forum),
and am wondering if I should dump Vista and go back to XP Pro and
office
2003
?
