    Powerpoint probs??

    Microsoft Office Powerpoint that is. I'm trying to bring up some files that I need for work and I'm getting the message:

    "You are attempting to open a file type that is blocked by your registry policy setting"

    They used to open OK and I haven't changed anything obvious. I'm using Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 if it makes any difference.

    Any ideas lads/lasses?

      you gotta love miscrosoft! "For you're own safety, we've decided you're not allowed to open any of your own files"

      Thought for the day:
      Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but bring a smile to your face when thrown down the stairs

      Converting an MFV Fifie trawler type thing.

          Steve, Try downloading a format converter from Microsoft. I had all sorts of problems when I changed from XP to Vista, couldnt open a lot of files untill I got the converter. Now all is ok.
          As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible,
          but P*****g everyone off is a piece of cake.
