I'm using Powerpoint to give my classes, and I've always used movies in them - they're wmv inserted in my presentations and play automatically. Never had a problem.

But now, suddenly, they're not playing. When I open one of those presentations I've been doing for the last few years, the movies won't play - same laptop, same program. Worst, when I try to make a new presentation, Powerpoint just won't let me insert movies. I do Insert/movie from file thing, choose the file, and nothing happens.

What can be the problem?! I'm kind of confused.

Thx

I tried to insert the movie as an "object" and got the answer: impossible to find the "décompresseur" MP42....

WTF?

Ok well... found the solution... If anybody experiences the same kind of problem, this is the thing you want to install:
