Hi,
You need to open the file in OpenOffice not Windows Media player as
it appears you are trying to do.
You should find OpenOffice in Start -> Programs -> OpenOffce then
select Impress.
When Impress has loaded click File -> Open and find the pps file you
want to open.
If you would like all of your pps files to open in OpenOffice then
find your pps file and right click on it. Click Open With and then
click Choose Program. From the list choose OpenOffice Impress and
then tick the box that says always use this program to open files of
this type and click OK. Windows Media Player will not open pps files.
If you do not find OpenOffice on any of the aforementioned lists then
you have not installed the program.
Hope this helps
Tom

Nothing happens when I press F5 either
I get an error message that says:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not
support the file type or might not support the codec that was used
to compress the file.
No I can't open anything with the extension PPS
Thanks, Terry

They should open OK but not as a slide show (unless 2.2 has changed
that). You then press F5 to start the slide show.
Are you not able to open ANY Powerpoint file?
Copy to Terry & Richie.
