Downloaded ppsx file lost the format

My friend sent me a ppsx file (slides show) via email.  After I downloaded it to my macbook pro,  the file lost ppsx format.  Why?  What I need to do to be able to dowload ppsx file.  Do I need Microsoft Office installed in my macbook pro to download ppsx?

or OpenOffice shareware, Keynote etc
I am sure there are others.
here is an example fix:

  • Ever since updating to version 6 of Firefox, the program crashes anytime I download a file. The format doesn't seem to matter, it happens with pdf's, JPEG's, Word documents, etc. How do I revert back to version 5 of Firefox?

    Firefox 6.0.2 crashing whenever a file is downloaded.

    There is a [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forums/contributors/707453?last=41751#post-41734 particular] Tojan that crashes Firefox 6 but not earlier versions; however that Trojan does affect other browsers besides Firefox. If such a trojan is affecting you, there may previously have been problems with searches. Downgrading in those circumstances will not assist you as security issues would remain with an alternative browser. You will need to do a full security scan of your system with up-to-date software. (Please give name and version of software used if you do a scan - I believe MS provide free software for this purpose for recent Windows OS).
    Currently the commonest specific cause of Crashes (and again this is known to affect Firefox 3.6 also) is due to a component of ''idvault''. If you have idvault installed, possibly as part of Comcast Constant Guard then that is likely to be the cause of the crashes. Try disabling or even uninstalling thes to see if the problem is solved. Note the software developer involveed is WhiteSky, and they are aware of the issue and working on a fix. (a bug has been filed).

  • How to download a file from the net and save it into .txt format in a datab

    Can some one show me a tutorial on how to download a file from the net and save it into .txt format in a database?

  • Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

    When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
    a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
    When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
    message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
    I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
    correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
    I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
    when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
    The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
    On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
    in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
    Thanks for your time!

    Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here.  How did you come to post here?  ForumsRedesign.  That might be an on-topic issue for this forum.  <eg>
    Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here?  Another on-topic question for here I think.   ; )

  • When i try download a file from the internet it looks like its downloading then when i go to open this file it opens up in the app text edit and says it cannot open i DOS mode? Can anyne help?

    when i try to download a file from the internet it starts to download but when its finished it opens up in the app "text edit" and it says this file cannot open in DOS mode.
    Can anyone help?

    It sounds like perhaps the file doesn't have an extension that the system recognizes. Is this all files, or just one specific one, and if so, which? What is the name (and extension, if it has one) of the downloaded file? What kind of file do you *expect* it to be? (PDF, or whatever). Renaming a file with the appropriate extension can often fix that kind of problem.

  • How can I download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server?

    I am trying to download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server. I've tried doing it with Datasocket as suggested in these articles,
    <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/f3cc5f7e60a75cb2862567e700696abf?opendocument">Retrieving an Unformatted Text File via FTP or HTTP Using DataSocket</a>

    but all I get is error 1181 (protocol unrecognized by Datasocket).
    I know I have the URL correct, because I can put it into a web browser and it works fine - I can download the file manually.
    But I want to have a LabVIEW program do the download automatically.
    I have the internet toolkit, but don't have the foggiest clue how to use it, and am using LabVIEW 7.1
    I am a bit out of my depth here, so any advice welcome.
    Regards,
    Mark.

    MIG,
    What is the URL to the website? Is it an FTP site? The articles you referenced are for specific transfer protocols. If the stie you're trying to get to doesn't follow these protocols, then you'll get the error you're seeing. You may have to use ActiveX to control IE and download the files programmatically.

  • Download a file from the web

    Helo,
    I have to download a file from the web and copy it to the file system (ex: download from http://172.26.20.22/test.csv to \\server01\teste.csv).
    I must do this using only pl/sql and java sources, I have to do this calling a procedure from pl/sql and the server doesn't have any component installed.
    I've built a java procedure using java to download the file, but it give-me AccessControlException when trying to download.
    Can anyone tel me what permissions I should have to accomplish this? Is there any other easier way?
    Thanks.

    every time i download a file from the web (ie. a PDF file) i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I changed anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

    That is a very good warning provided by the Download Statusbar extension. Something like that should been built into Firefox. I filed this Bug report a couple of years ago, about the lack of a warning like that. <br />
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480855 <br />
    I have looked everywhere that I can think of to find a list of '''IOfficeAntiVirus providers''' ''(as mentioned in the Bug report)'' that will work with Firefox, so I can't answer that for you.
    You might want to ask the developer of the Download Statusbar extension about it. He might know which AV programs are compatible with the Windows API that Firefox uses for the download scan. <br />

  • If I am using a website which opens a pop up window or am downloading a file and the popup downloads window appears, it will minimize itself to the taskbar after a few seconds or if I move the mouse pointer out of the pop up window.

    Occurs every time I use the squeezenetwork.com website to control my squeezebox boom internet radio player. (logitech) Also occurs every time I download a file and the downloads window pops up. The pop up window minimizes to the taskbar, or the browser window is on top of the pop up window.
