hi John,

I went and found an old AVI file and inserted it into Word - both via drag & drop and Insert|Object. In both cases it plays fine. AFAIK I don't have any special software installed - the AVI file opens with Windows Media Player. That suggests some other issue with your PC. Perhaps uninstalling/reinstalling Windows Media Player will resolve the issue.
