What version of PowerPoint do you have?

This information can be found under Help -> About Microsoft PowerPoint

It should say something like:

This is all the information we need. Well, the "Part of ..." is not really necessary, but it is helpful at

repairing Microsoft Office or Microsoft PowerPoint).
