From: farley5959 on 23 Mar 2010 00:18 I am using Powerpoint 2007 and save my presentations to be compatible with 2003. I have video inserted into slides but I also use hyperlinks to link some slide titles to video clips. My problem is that when I click on a hyperlink I get a popup warning. "Opening C:\Users\Farley\'movietitle.mov Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer It is important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy source. Would you like to open this file?" This is obviously a nuisance when presenting. Can this be avoided in anyway? Thanks, farley5959 -- farley5959

You could also mark the folder with the video as a Trusted Location (Options > Trust Centre > Trust Centre Settings and make sure you save the presentation before testing.
