Saving a presentation with Pack & Go

[Scouse Jim]

I have slaved over a hot keyboard putting together two
presentations in PowerPoint 2002 (MS XP Pro OS) one has
sound (WAV) clips and an animated GIF and the other has
WAV & a Video clip played through the Windows Media Player
Both run fine on the desktop

I want to save these to a CD so I can send them to others
and I have used the Pak & Go wizard to do this. Everything
saves and I end up with two icons on my CD. 1. A Pack & Go
setup and 2. PRESO.PPZ file

The CD wont open on my laptop (MS ME OS & Powerpoint 2000)
and even blew out the desk top it was produced on - (Blue
screen of death). What am I doing wrong??? Help!

If you go there and hit the link to my site (echosvoice.com), you'll want to
use the instructions for creating an autorun CD using the new Viewer --
versions 2002/2003.

Pack and Go creates two files - - 1) the compressed presentation files and
2) the program needed to decompress them. The step you skipped was to first
decompress the files to a new folder on your hard disk. Then burn the
decompressed files to the root directory of your CD. Do this for both
presentations.

There is an article on doing this with Pack & Go (click on the "articles"

Sounds like you missed a couple of steps, most importantly making an
"autorun.inf" file. This article explains all.
