Hello!
I am trying to help someone create a PowerPoint 2003 presentation that uses
a song ripped from a CD with WMP 9. The CD was burned by her friend's band
and the song is their cover of the Eagles' Hotel California.
She used PowerPoint's utility, Package to CD, to create a folder with the
ripped WMA file (it was a CDA on the CD, I think), the PPT file,
pptview.exe, and some other supporting files and emailed them to me. I used
those files to burn a CD, and when I insert the CD, WMP 10 comes up with a
window prompt telling me that I need to get a license for the file, even
though it is not the real Eagles' song, but her friend's band doing the
song. The same thing happens if I run it from the hard drive.
If I run the PPS file directly, or if I attempt to run the WMA file directly
outside of the PP show, I get the same Windows Media Player prompt.
Initially, when I played the PP show and the prompt came up for the license,
if I clicked Yes to get the license from the Internet, my computer would
lock up solid and require a hard reboot. I then ran the file directly,
clicked Yes, and it went to a Microsoft site that said to download the
license, which I did, and now the song plays.
My questions are
1) where does that license get stored?
2) can I delete it and start over again to see where I got the license?
3) why would WMP 10 ask for a license for a file that is not the original
artist?
The file she sent to me was named "Hotel California" and I thought that may
have had something to do with it, so she copied it from the CD again, using
WMP 9, and named it Bob instead of Hotel California. Same thing...it asks
for a license.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time!
