Re: PowerPoint audio plays correctly in Windows XP, not in Windows 2000

Your issue is that the sound card drivers for the 2000
system are not working correctly. You need to go the
computer manufacturer's web site and download and install
the latest sound drivers for Win 2000 that is available
there. If those drivers are the same as currently installed
you may have to go to the sound card manufacturer's web site
to find newer drivers.

If you can't get it to work with the newer drivers you
probably will be out of luck. (Search "PowerPoint 2000"
chipmunk in Google for other possible remedies.)

Hello,

I created a PowerPoint slide show in Windows XP using
PowerPoint
2002,
but will be presenting it to my audience on a Windows 2000
computer.
I
have embedded each of my 6 wmv videos using Insert >
Object > Create
from file as per the recommendations from the
msmvps.com/blogs
"Embedding Video" web site article. Both the video and
sound now
play
beautifully on the Windows XP machine.


However, when I run the PowerPoint presentation on the
Windows 2000
computer with external speakers, the video plays
perfectly, but the
audio sounds like the narrator sucked
down some helium before reading the script ... you know,
that high-
pitched, freaky sort of sound, like what you hear when a
tape
recording is speeded up too fast. Is there some setting
in Windows
2000 that I need to change to return the video's audio
portion to it's
perfect sound as it was in Windows XP?

Thanks for any advice.
