Hi all,

I have a USB stick I use to transfer files from my work pc to my mac at home. This works fine with all files bar Powerpoint. If I take a powerpoint file from my pc, put it on the usb stick, put it in the mac, then double click a powerpoint file - whether still on the USB stick or transferred from the USB stick to my mac hard drive - I get the whirling beach ball of death. Force quit doesn't work, so I have to hold the power button down to restart. I have powerpoint 2004 on the mac and 2000 at work. My mac is a G4 powerbook with 10.3.9. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Best regards
