POWERPOINT VIEWER WILL NOT VIEW

[Guest]

I just downloaded and activated Powerpoint in 60 day free trial of Office
2003 Standard that came with my XP Home edition Computer. It allows me to set
up a new presentation but it will not let me view a previously prepared
program on a CD-R disc.

It'd help if you could be more specific about "will not let me view" means.

I had visions of it slapping you on the hand and telling you "NO. Not until
you're older!"

It's been a long, weird day.

What you *probably* need to do is click Help, Check for Updates and apply any
suggested patches.

Thank you Steve for your response. I have attempted to view a CD-R of s prev
prepared Powerpoint presentation but all that comes up is a blank screen.
However the program that does come up allows me to prepare A NEW Powerpoint
presentation.

Try copying the PPT from the CD to your hard drive and viewing it from there, but
first do the Help, Check for Updates thing.

Is the CD-R writing session "closed" on the CD?
