Hi Michael

Is there any reason you want to use media player, or do you just want to be
able to view presentations without buying powerpoint? Free viewers are
available here:
PowerPoint 2003 viewer:

-A94784AF71A4&displaylang=en
PowerPoint 2007 viewer (2003 viewer + compatability pack):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=048DC840-14E1-467D-8DCA

The viewers have some limitations (e.g. can't run macros). For more info see
