PPT: Error inserting QuickTime Movie (*.mov) (155065)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q155065 SYMPTOMS
When you insert a QuickTime Movie (*.mov) into your PowerPoint 95
presentation on a computer running Microsoft Windows, you may receive the
following error message:
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. You
should reinstall the server application.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if you click Movie on the Insert menu and choose
a QuickTime Movie file. Although the QuickTime extension (*.mov) is
in the list of valid movie file types, PowerPoint is unable to insert a
QuickTime movie.
If you follow the same procedures in PowerPoint 97 for Windows, the
QuickTime movie inserts correctly.
RESOLUTION
Use the following steps to insert a QuickTime movie into your PowerPoint
presentation on a computer running Microsoft Windows.
NOTE: These steps require that you have QuickTime for Windows installed
on your computer. If you do not have QuickTime for Windows installed, you
cannot insert a QuickTime Movie into your PowerPoint for Windows 95 or
PowerPoint 97 presentation.
- On the Insert menu, click Object.
- Click Create New. From the list, select QuickTime Movie, then click
OK.
- QuickTime starts and asks you for the movie file location.
Select the file, and then click OK.
- On the File menu, click "Close And Return To Presentation." When
prompted to update the presentation, click Yes.
PowerPoint inserts the QuickTime movie into the PowerPoint presentation.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in PowerPoint 97
for Windows.
