This is a file association problem, perhaps.

If you want the program to open in PowerPoint's viewer, then you will need
to reset the PPS extension.

However, Open Office should open most PPT files. Has this file been edited
in PPT2007? Is it on a USB drive or the computer's hard drive?

As Steve recommended, I believe a basic computer skills class would be very
helpful to you. Without those skills, you could accidentally move files or
delete important files.

However, while you are looking into this class (on-line or local community
center) try this. If at any point you feel out of your depth, close the
windows that are open and stop. As a friend/neighbor who is computer savvy
or take the class.

Start (click on this button in the lower left corner of the screen) =>
Search (Shows up when the first button has been clicked) =>
In the File name window (depending on your version of Windows) type in
"*.ppt*" without the quotes,
where it says search what, you want to type in or select c: (which
is the name of the primary local hard drive) =>
Click Search button
The search may take a minute (if the files are indexed) or hours if you
have a large non-indexed hard drive.
Look for the file that was created (should be one of the columns of data
listed on the search fields) most recently.

This is not a PowerPoint question, this is a basic Windows skill question.
Setting the associations is an advanced Windows skill and, if done wrong,
could cause the computer to stop working.
