Disabled or damaged Powerpoint

[Digitalsmurf]

I created a very larger PowerPoint presentation (lots of JPG's). It was
accessable for a while and I even did a presentation via a LCD. When I just
now tried to open it I received an error message that it was either damaged
or disabled by an office application. I have tried to save it off of my hard
drive to a jump dirve to take it to anoher computer but I can't even do that.
Any suggestions on how I might restore this file? Thanks, signed "desperate
one."

Do you have Norton Anti Virus? If so, try disabling the Office Plug-in:

Shawn,
I have VirusScan and the only thing I could find was 'vsplugin.dll' Is this
the same thing? Thanks, Mariette

If you do not have Norton AntiVirus, then this is probably not the cause.
Instead, check this out:
