I am running XP SP3 with Office 2003 SP2.
I am trying to "insert" an AVI file I have into my Powerpoint Presentation. I know the .AVI file is good because I can run it with Real PLayer, Windows MP or Media PLayer Classic and it works fine with any of them. When I try and insert it into my presentation, it shows up, and as soon as I click on it, the video turns to a black screen, but I can hear the audio fine. It runs thru the entire video but I can't see it. I installed the K-Lite codec package thinking maybe I needed a codec, but this did not help. Any help is appreciated.
