Pack & go will not work...

[Brooke]

Can somebody please help me....I've been trying the "pack
& go" on my powerpoint slideshow and it will not work. I
am trying to save it to my D:\ (a cd-rom) so I can play
it on other computers. It keeps giving me an error
message which says...incorrect function....then another
error message pops up and it says...you do not have
access to the "D:\".See you administrator for access to
this folder. I have been trying to get this working for
months and I'm having no luck. Can someone please e-mail
me with some information?!?!

Unless you are using Package to CD (a PPT 2003 function) on a Windows XP
machine, PPT doesn't know how to write directly to your CD. What you need to
do is to save the results to a folder on your hard drive and then copy the
information from the hard drive to the CD.

You might try packing to your hard drive and then copying to a CD.
However, you mention CD-ROM drive. Do you really mean CD-ROM? A CD-ROM
drive can only read CDs, not write to them. Do you have a CD Rewritable
drive?

Brooke,

(1) Use pack and go to save it to your computers hard drive (normally called C)
(2) If you have a CD drive capable of writing to blank CDs, then use the software that came with the CD-Writer (nero,
easy cd creator etc)
(3) There is no three
(4) Want to make it autorun?
