1139577 2010-09-25 20:04:00 Morning all and thanks for all you help and understanding with my floppy drive problem, yesterday . :clap

Today's problem is with Microsoft Office's Powerpoint .

Whenever I try to access a Power point file I receive the following message,

Microsoft Office Powerpoint .

Powerpoint Viewer was unable to to start properly . To reinstall any missing files, run Setup again . :badpc:

I downloaded a fresh PowerPointViewer . exe setup program and reinstalled numerous times, to no avail .

I thought of uninstalling and reinstalling, but can't find it on my hard drive . :eek:

Am running XP Home and fully updated . :blush:

Thanks again for all your advise,

Ian . :clap

There are two versions, second one may be Powerpoint Viewer 2003 though it doesnt say so.

I thought of uninstalling and reinstalling, but can't find it on my hard drive.
You are looking for it in Add & Remove Programs (in Control Panel) arent you?
You'll definitely have problems if you try deleting program files/folders manually.
If you find it in there, you may have the option of repairing the installation (I do, under Vista).

Um,um I followed the direction above. Uninstall and reinstalled.

Had a fibro moment and didn't see it when I tried to uninstall before.
