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.

Christine
