I suggest testing the CD further in other computers. If results are as 
expected in all computers, with the exception of #2, then it's likely that 
the CD is OK and that system #2 has some unique issues (which could be 
related to security restrictions, application malfunctioning, preferences etc.)

Linking to a stable/consistent target should work.

Another approach would be to embed the PPT files in your PDF, which can be 
done either as a comment or as a document-level attachment.
A sample PDF with both types of attachments is available at 
http://www.microtype.com/showcase/EmbedFiles.pdf (the first attachment icon 
is a PPT file; document attachments are accessible the the Attachments 
panel: paper clip icon in the Navigation pane or View > Navigation Panels > 
Attachments)

Embedding can be done manually in the final PDF using Acrobat (or automated 
using custom markers with TimeSavers).
