First of all, please make sure, that Service Pack 1 for Office 2003 is
installed on your computer (click on "Help" then on "Check for updates").
It solves a lot of image problems.

Kind regards,

Can you double-check for SP-1, please? Help/About should list the version of
PPT with SP1 at the end.

Why do you think it's an OLE problem? More specifically, what do you mean by
"lack of OLE"? Does Media Edition not have OLE capability? (That doesn't
quite make sense to me, actually.)

How were these images inserted into PPT?

What's showing on the PPT file where the image should be? You don't have the
RedX problem, do you?

Have you tried changing hardware acceleration? Try it at all settings.

Thanks for checking SP-1.

Changing hardware acceleration didn't help it? (Try it at each setting on
the slider.) Whether you think it's a hardware problem or not, it's an easy
thing to try -- quick, free, and reversible.

Are the missing photos giving you Red Xs?

What is the KB article (link or number) you're referring to?

Thanks for trying it.

How were the images inserted?
