When I insert a SnapShot I only get the icon of the SnapShot, but I want to
see a view of the snapshot in my slide. How?

From the menu bar select Insert, Picture, then select one of the options.
From File is a good choice

I don't think that you can do that. What I have read on snapshot files
(which is not much) is that you have to also provide a link to the snapshot
viewer. You could put your snapshot file into MSWord. Then, cut it in Word,
and paste it as a WMF file into PowerPoint.
