MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2006Problem opening powerpoint file
Hi all! Situation : Powerpoint 2000 installed on a Windows 2000 Workstation PC. Problem : When I doubleclick on a .ppt file, it opens a blank powerpoint project. This happens with any .ppt file on my PC. I tried to reinstall Microsoft Office with no success. I also tried a "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Powerpnt.exe" /regserver with no luck either... Any idea? Thank you in advance. Regards Try this: Start PPT Choose Help, Detect & Repair Let it run its course > Situation : Powerpoint 2000 installed on a Windows 2000 Workstation PC. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I also tried a "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Powerpnt.exe" > /regserver with no luck either... ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Hi Steve, Unfortunately, this doesn't help... Thank you for your help. > Hi Steve, > > Unfortunately, this doesn't help... OK, next you'll want to work through the steps here (other than the suggestion to run Detect & Repair, of course) Changing a File Association, Repairing broken File Associations http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00355.htm ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ It's working ! The problem was a file association misconfiguration. (in 'advanced opening settings' -> "new" instead of "open"). Thanks a lot ! Cool! Delighted to hear it. > It's working ! > > The problem was a file association misconfiguration. > (in 'advanced opening settings' -> "new" instead of "open"). > > Thanks a lot ! ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
