Advice please. Hope you can assist. > Regards, > Derek Orr It seems as if some thing has gone awry in your restoration process. Assuming OOo (OpenOffice.org) is still installed in it's default location, set your LNK "file association" to point to the following: C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.3\Program\simpress.exe This will set Windows to open MS Powerpoint presentations with OOo Impress.
