When I insert video into PPT (2002 sp3), it’s appears as a black box and  
  
won't play. Actually it seem like playing as you can see the mouse cursor  
  
change but only a black box is visible. I can play the video and windows  
  
media without problem. I try to change the name but still the same please help

It may be that you don't have the needed codec installed on your system.  Go to  
  
Start > Run and type  
  
mplay32.exe to open the media player that PowerPoint uses.  Then open and play  
  
your video.  Does it play?  If not then it won't play in PowerPoint.
