Can't open files with Archive Flag Set

[John Pierce]

I am unable to open some of my powerpoint files and I noticed that in every
case the Archive Flag is set. Can anyone tell me how to I unarchive them?
Simply changing the Flag to Read only for example does not seem to work.

Thanks,

What happens when you try to open the files?

If you're using PPT 2003, you want to make sure you have all service packs
installed. Open PPT and go to Help|Check for Updates and install SP2 for
Office 2003. I think that might be the problem here.

I get a message showing the correct path and file name but saying that
powerpoint cannot open this file type.

Thanks,
