The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 3.0, 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c == Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.1, and 3.11 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

If you insert a sound (.wav) file into a PowerPoint presentation, you may receive the following error:

Not enough disk space to spool data.

This error message is displayed if you are using Creative Labs SoundO’le program instead of the Windows Sound Recorder and the sound file is located on a CD-ROM or a network drive.

= RESOLUTION =

There are three ways to solve this problem:

Method 1: Copy the sound file to your local hard disk before embedding it.

Method 2: Use Media Player instead of SoundO’le to embed the sound.

Method 3: Use Windows Sound Recorder instead of SoundO’le to embed the sound. To replace SoundO’le with Sound Recorder as your OLE sound provider, use the following steps:

a. In Program Manager, click Run on the File menu.

b. At the command line, type the following and press ENTER:

regedit /u setup.reg

You should see the following message:

The information in SETUP.REG has been successfully added to the Registration Database.

When you embed a sound, Sound Recorder will start instead of     SoundO'le. The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products’ performance or reliability.
