So, out of the blue I am experience this problem and I have never had this happen before and I am using the same process as before.

I want to hyperlink some text in ppt to open a wmv file. In the past, I followed the regular routine of adding a hyperlink, selected the file and then ta da, it worked. Two days ago, I followed that process and instead of opening the video, it just opened the folder. NO idea why. Then, starting yesterday, while making a new slide, when I click to add a hyperlink and I select a video file, the "ok" button will not highlight. I can link to another ppt, but it won't even let me link to a video file. The file shows up as an acceptable file type, but if i select it, I cannot select OK.

Ideas?
