can't read the file

[Hope]

When our students use powerpoint they are having trouble opening the files.
The error states powerpoint can't read file.

Has there been any other people having this problem.

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.

I'd try a couple of things:

Double check the file extension

Try openning the file by double clicking it

Try openning the file from inside of Powerpoint FILE>OPEN...
