Unable to open Powerpoint

[Nancy]

When I try to open Powerpoint or open a PPT document, the Windows Installer
box opens telling me to insert MSXP Professional Frontpage disk.

I am not able to access Powerpoint.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Sounds like your file associations are broken.

This kind of thing sometimes happens when you have mixmatched MSI
(installer) files from different versions of Office -- or a version of
Office and then a different version of a product like FrontPage or OneNote,
etc. And it seems that, even if you fix it, it will sometimes happen again
after installing a service pack. I think. I could be dreaming on that last
one. ;-)

Anyway, if you put in the FrontPage install disk and let it do its thing,
does that resolve the problem?
