Problems viewing Powerpoint

[J_randle]

Hi..

I recently created a Powerpoint at my school using Microsoft Windows XP
Professional, and Office 2003. I saved this onto my memory stick and took it
home to work further on it.

Now, at my home, we also run XP Pro and Office 2003, yet when I attempt to
open my powerpoint it simply refuses to load, and i get the error message;

"Powerpoint can't open the type of file represented by ..... .ppt"

There also are other messages that crop up in analysis of this data that say
"Parameter incorrect". I'm afraid I don't understand what the problem is,
and how its fixed by looking at this information.

It's really annoying, the ppt does need finishing. What's my problem?

If you need further info in order to answer my question, please feel free to
ask for it and I will do what i can to find out what you need.

At home and at work, have you installed Service Pack 1? Go to Help > Check for
Updates and follow the links to apply SP1. Most likely it will correct the
problem.
