Package for CD not working on some computers

[Christine Fournier]

Hi,

I use PowerPoint 2003 and Windows XP Professionnal.
When I make a package for CD in PowerPoint, the CD works fine on some
computers but doesn't on some others. When it doesn't work, it acts as if
there were nothing on my CD. When I go in "My Computer", and click on the CD
reader, there's O ko of space occupied on the CD. But if I try on another
computer, it works.

Christine./
P.S. : I use a CD-R to make the package.

PowerPoint doesn't always play nicely with CD burners. Try saving to a
folder (one of the options in Package for CD). Then use your regular CD
burning software to burn the contents of that folder to a CD.

Thank you for your answer David,

I'm just wondering : will the links in my PowerPoint still work ?

Christine./

They should still work. Package for CD is supposed to take care of that
for you. If for some reason they don't, you can check out the advice in
this link:

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation
