[WinMac] PowerPoint and QuickTime

I've got a problem that neither Apple nor Microsoft have been able to help me with...
Several PowerPoint 4.0 documents were sent to me containing graphics that are
PICTs compressed via one of the QuickTime compressors. When those
presentations are opened on a Windows NT machine running PowerPoint 97 with
QuickTime 3.0 installed, where the graphics should be displayed there is
instead a place holder that says something like "QuickTime PICT" (although it
is hard to read because the text is stretched across the place holder).
The Apple QuickTime help line suggested it is a problem with NT application
registration, and there is no help on the MS web site (in fact, there is an
implication in one place that PowerPoint does not support QuickTime movies,
which might also apply to PICTs).
Has anyone out there encountered this problem and found a solution?
Respectfully,
Bob Beims
