Gman, I think I see what you are saying now, unfortunately after finding my install disk and trying to install pack n go, it seems to be missing a .dll file. It acted like it packed the files ok and winzip unzipped them for me but when I clicked on the ppview32.exe file it said it was missing a dll file... ;( I am guessing that is the unpacked file I need to click on, I think it is the viewer file or do I click on the file that was unpacked that has the same name as my presentation which is a .ppt file. ok, now thats weird, I tried opening up my zipped file again and amongst the above two files are numerous dll files and all, and I SEE the Mso97v.dll file they say cant be found? Maybe whoever unzips it is supposed to click on the soundvid.ppt file only and not the ppview32.exe to view. I figured that one was probably the viewer file though and they would have to click on that one? Anyway, I am currently trying to upload it to my filebox and then open it.
