Re: Problem with viewer

Sorry I should have given all the details. I have PowerPoint 2002 running
with WindowsXP and SP3. When I received a .pps file from a friend I noticed
that on double clicking the file it loaded, but remained on the taskbar at
the bottom of the screen and PowerPoint itself did not appear. I had to
remove it using ctrl+ alt +del

I can load PowerPoint and then load a .pps file and it will load into
PowerPoint, but when I try to run it as a slideshow it does not run.

Could it be the latest Nvida drivers or perhaps (hopefully) something that I
altered in options?

I thought it might be a corrupt file, but now all my .pps files wont run. I
reinstalled PowerPoint, but still the problem is there.
