PPT2001: PowerPoint Unexpectedly Quits When You Click Movie Options in Mac OS 8.1
This article was previously published under Q272790
If you have Mac OS 8.1 installed, and you click
Movie Options in PowerPoint (on the
Edit menu, click
Preferences, and then click the
General tab), PowerPoint may quit unexpectedly.
This behavior may occur when you try to use the PowerPoint Movies feature under Mac OS 8.1. The PowerPoint Movies feature requires Mac OS 8.5 or later, and QuickTime 3.0 or later.
To resolve this problem, upgrade your Macintosh to Mac OS 8.5 or later.
To temporarily work around this problem, avoid using any of the PowerPoint Movies features.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
For more information about how to upgrade Mac OS or QuickTime on your computer, please contact Apple Computer, Inc.
For information about how to contact Apple, view the following hardware and software third-party vendor contact information:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
