When you open ppt with embedded activeICM it actually tries original absolute location and then (if not found) looks for that file in the current directory. Unfortunately the meaning of “current directory” is not well defined in Power Point. For example if you double click on ppt file it sets the current directory to the folder which conatains that ppt file, but if you open the same file from the PowerPoint it does not set current directory accordingly. So, let’s say you have aaa.ppt which has c:\some\location\aaa.icb embedded. Nowyou want to copy that presentation to your laptop. You need to put these two files in the same directory. After that on you laptop you can just double click on aaa.ppt. Note, if you open aaa.ppt from “File-Open” it’ll popup open file dialog where you should locate aaa.icb.
