I found a few how to's and this is the closest to working... 1.) Extract the PowerPoint Autorun files to "C:\" DONE 2.) Open your presentation in PowerPoint. DONE 3.) Run Pack and Go and select to include the viewer. Tell it to save where you can easily find the files when its done saving. If you have PowerPoint 97 or 2000 you will need to install the viewer if you haven't already done so. PowerPoint 2002 does not come with a viewer so you will have to download the "PowerPoint Viewer 97 (2000 Release) for PowerPoint 2000 Users" from: DONE 4.) After running Pack and Go you should see the following files: "PNGSETUP.EXE" and "PRES0.PPZ". Run the "PNGSETUP.EXE" file and when it asks where you want to extract the files to, tell it to extract to "C:\Autorun\Show". Chose not to run the presentation after its done extracting. DONE & IS THERE 5.) So your not wasting CDs and to make sure the presentation will play correctly on the CD, execute "Play.bat" from "C:\Autorun". This is what anyone using the CD will experience. THIS IS WHERE THINGS START TO SCREW UP. Play.bat does 'nothing' and there is also a shortcut to MSDOS with 'play' under it. Nothing happens when that is clicked. 6.) Now write the contents of the "C:\Autorun" to a CD. Don't include the Autorun folder just what is within it so that "Play.bat", "Autorun.inf", and "Autorun.pif" are in the root of the CD. AND THERE IS NO Autorun.pif 7.) Now when you put the CD into a computer that has autorun setup your presentation will run automatically. 8.) To make another Autorun CD, delete the "C:\Autorun" directory along with everything within it and repeat steps 1 through 7. So maybe someone can confirm that it's winME that's not liking this.
