I'm trying to download the PPT viewer to read some lecture notes. I'm
on a Macbook running OS X 10.4. First I downloaded the viewer and it
showed an expander icon (i think) with a white circle with a slash
through it. So then I downloaded stuffit expander and was able to
expand the download.

i redownloaded the compressed viewer from microsoft and the folder
showed up on my desktop with a little office logo. the folder contains
these four files: License, and Read me (text files), another folder
called supporting files, and a Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Viewer icon.
but the icon has the same white circle with a slash that i encountered
before!

When i double click on this application it gives the following error
message: you cannot open this application because it is not supported
by the system.

Same thing happens when i try and open my lecture notes.

How do I get this program to work??

You're kidding right? We're talking about PowerPoint 98 (as in 1998)
Viewer. It's no surprise it's not running correctly, since it was
written for the operating systems of 1998, not today's operating
systems! The system requirements on the web page plainly state:

To use PowerPoint 98 or Office 98, you need:
* Apple System 7.5 to 9.x.
