| Civilians | Re: Inserting MP3s What is the source of the MP3? Did you create it or rip it from a CD, or did you get it someplace else? PowerPoint uses Windows mplay32, so if it won't open it, PowerPoint won't be able to. These aren't from iTunes are they?

| Civilians | Re: Inserting MP3s Well, something has changed. Maybe you installed a media player that trashed the settings in Windows. See http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorial...multimedia.htm and compare the tables of settings in section 3 to those on your system. Are they identical?
