marinoalbino Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I have a computer that is running Windows XP with Office 2007 Professional. He is having problems only with the Powerpoint files in the office, specifically .pptx files. When you double-click on the file it opens up to a blank presentation. Once that is open if you click open and navigate to the file then it opens correctly.I have checked the registry and the open/command path is correct. Any other ideas will help. All the others work fine Word, Excel and Outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodpecan Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I would prefer guide below or another methods are proposed from different sources over Internet, but in case the guide from MS Corporation can't handle the problem https://www.openfiletool.com/pptxopen.html PPTX Open File Tool https://www.articulate.com/support/presenter-09/heres-how-to-fix-a-corrupt-powerpoint-file http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/t/268740.aspx There are a number of things you can try to recover it: 1. Use Slides from Files on the Insert menu. 2. Locate a TMP file. 3. Open the presentation in Microsoft Office Word. 4. Move the file to a different place. 5. Open the file in a different way. 6. Use Safe Mode. 7. Use Damaged Presentations Troubleshooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisam Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 EDITED: Oh, well, just realized that the original post is rather old and the poster never returned to nsane after his first and only post but maybe it's not too late for an advice, might be useful for someone else On 26/11/2015 at 7:40 PM, marinoalbino said: I have a computer that is running Windows XP with Office 2007 Professional. He is having problems My advice, based on my personal experience: uninstall Office 2007 and install 2010; 2010 supports Windows XP, can be activated as a dream with Office Toolkit.. Office 2010 is better than 2007 and personalizing the menu, if you really want to do it, is a piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
