    Can I see whole this video clip?

    by YoungHyun Kim

    It was stopped while I was watching this video clip. I don't know the reason why. I'll be finished after I ask one more thing. Can I get this presentation's ppt file?

    Thanks.

    Hi YoungHyun, have you tried restarting it and forwarding to the spot where it previously stopped and resuming from there? There are many reasons why a video might stop, but you can still restart and resume.
