    Powerpoint 2007 has trouble opening powerpoints

    [EDIT. I found a solution. OpenOffice's powerpoint works fine with the files. :D]


    My professor has these powerpoint slides up on a website where we can download them and review them to study.

    BUT. After I double click on the power point, it brings up Microsoft powerpoint but displays nothing. It's just microsoft powerpoint 2007 by itself.

    I know that my professor uses a Mac and that might have something to do with this...but my friends who use powerpoint 2003 are able to view the powerpoint just fine.

    The only way I can actually see the powerpoints is by using the microsoft office powerpoint viewer.

    I just installed the microsoft office sp1 and that didn't fix anything.

    Help?
    Thanks
