I created a presentation in powerpoint 2003. I am trying to edit the file on
the sam pc, and I get the error:

The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an
unknown error. you may need to reinstall server application.

I have tried reinstalling app, and checked for udates, still no luck.

When do you get the error? In other words, what triggers the error? Are you
editing a chart or text or an autoshape, etc.? Which?

I get the error when I double click on the slide. It comes up immediatley. I
am trying to edit a chart, and also text on another page.

Then I would suspect the file is corrupted in some way. Try starting a new
blank presentation and then importing the slides from the old presentation
one at a time.
