How do I get animations to play on other computers in Powerpoint

[rdrandon]

I have created a presentation in PowerPoint 2002 SP1 with animations. This
presentation had a page where pictures would appear one at a time using faded
zoom animation. Upon a mouse click, the first picture would fade out and the
second would fade in. This would happen for five pictures. I have two
sepaerate slides wher ethis occures. On my desk top at work and at home, as
well as my laptop, the animations work fine. However, when I send the
presentation to others in my group, or take the presentation to class, the
animations did not work. All of the pictures appeared at one time as if the
mouse clicks were being ignored.
This has happened several times and is becomming very frustrating. Does
anyone know of any possible reasons for this. The other computers that have
tried this presentation and failed were running the same version of
PowerPoint.

Thank you,

The people who are viewing your presentation have older versions of
PowerPoint. To run the animations you have created (and are native only to
2002/2003), the receipients need to download the free PowerPoint 2003 Viewer
at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...27-43ab-4f24-90b7-a94784af71a4&displaylang=en.

To avoid creating animations that users of older version cannot see, you can
disable 2003/2003 features by going to: Tools > Options. Click the Edit tab
then check disable "New Animation Effects" under "Disable New Features.

Let me know if this works.
