QuickTime problem in PowerPoint 2004 for Mac Version 11.2

[Erik Gylfe]

After updating my Office 2004 to the latest version 11.2 I have problems
with QuickTime movies in PowerPoint.

I have Mac OS 10.4.3 and QuickTime 7.0.3.

On an PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz the QuickTime movie in PowerPoint does not stop
at the last image of the sequence but instead displays the first image after
stopping.

On an iBook G3 600 MHz with the same versions of Mac OS, PowerPoint and
QuickTime the QuickTime movie within PowerPoint did not display at all. The
screen instead become white when the movie is playing.

I therefore reinstalled Office 2004 on the iBook and updated to version 11.2
several times. No difference. However, if I only updated Office to version
11.1 both problems disappeared. Instead I get an error message about a
problem of loading Microsoft Framework library when starting PowerPoint.
Fortunately that problem does not seem to affect my presentations.

Does anyone have a clue?

Hi Erik,

On PowerPoint's Movie toolbar you can set a poster frame. When the movie
ends the poster frame should be displayed. Try setting the poster frame
and see if it is obeyed.
