Well, I think perhaps you should only have one version installed. Is there a valid REASON to have multiple versions installed? That may be causing a problem.Aside from SOYBEAN's comment, you may have file association broken.

Right click on any .pps file, click Open with, pick up Power Point from the list, checkmark "Always open...." option, and you should be good to go.I'm still stuck. I do have a question. Hope it doesn't come across as being too dumb but here goes.
Is it possible for office 2003 to be listed in installed programs but not REALLY installed on this computer.
I obtained this computer from my friend so I don't know what was done before.
When I click START/all programs I do not see office listed. I do see office tools listed.
If I click on one of the items under the office tools, I get an error message.
Does any of this make sense? I am beginning to think that I don't even have office installed.This is a very real possibility as depending on how an application is un-installed it will sometimes still be listed in the Start menu and or Add/Remove programs...
You can test this by going to Start RUN and type in word.exe and see what runs....
If you have Office simply re-install it.If you don't, use free PowerPoint Viewer to opens pps files.I guess maybe I just need to install office on my computer. If someone else has a disc for office, can I also install it on my computer or would it cause a problem for the other person? Just so I will know before I try it. My son-in-law has it.
One copy = one machine...That is Microsofts policy...

However you can DLoad Open Office for Free and not only is it compatible with MSOffice it will do most of the same things....

Did i mention that it's Free ? ?Quote from: niknix on January 16, 2008, 06:30:41 AM
