Great. That narrows things down a bit. Can you open the ppt and save as an odp but add the word "conversion" into the file-name? Then open the old odp and re-save but add the word "resave" to the file-name. Close LibreOffice and double-click the "resave" one. Does it open or does LibreOffice need to be open already in order to open it?
Lets ignore PowerPoint, i was only asking about it because i was muddled by your initial question. That was interesting to hear about 64bit Windows and Win7. I prefer Ubuntu. It is good that we have choices.

Thanks for your reply. I was should have made it clear I was using Linux 64 (Mint) and Libreoffice64 If I open the directory and double click on the ppt file it opens straight away. If I open the directory and double click on the odp file it crashes. If I open Libreoffice and open the odp file from within Libreoffice it runs straight away. > 2. a) You can open the presentation in PowerPoint? > b) as ppt? > c) as odp? > d) When you save from PowerPoint both formats work in Impress? > e) When you save from PowerPoint both formats work in PowerPoint? > The I do not remember if the file was created in PowerPoint (Probably was) The PowerPoint opens and runs the ppt file. > The pps format is the same as ppt but should open as a slide-show rather than >in > edit mode.

I went back to a 32bit OS because 64bit seems too much trouble tbh > but it's not really possible to make that kind of switch in Windows obviously. > Regards from > Tom :) > The 32 bit software runs on 64 bit machines. It is it a bit pointless running 32bit software running on a 64bit machine. If I wanted to run 32bit software I would run a 32 bit machine. I want the speed advantage. Windows 64 has been unstable until Windows 7, but Linux 64 has been stable for a long time.
