Powerpoint 2010 will not open any old files

Hi Guys,
Just installed Office 2010, everything works fine except for the PPT issue. I download .ppt files from my school to take to class, but Powerpoint 2010 will not open these files.
The first window says " powerpoint has found a problem with content in xxxx" and the option is given to repair. After repair is clicked , a message saying "there was an error accessing xxxx" appears.
This is for all ppt and pptx files on my computer, but the program can create, save and open new files. Anyone have any suggestions?
p.s. the files worked fone with office 2007

Everyone I got it. Finally i have the solution for all of you. A permanent solution easy and WORKING. No need to frustrate and be unblocking all the time. I Hacked it!

1.
Click - Start 
2.
Click - Control Panel
3.
Click - System And Security ( you can also search for it )
4.
Click - View Installed updates ( under windows updates )

  • Firefox will not open any pdf files

    FF will not open any pdf files with built in viewer or adobe. I have set applications in all different ways with no luck. PDF works with IE.
    I have ff 33.1.1 and Win 7 and i have tried all suggestions concerning pdf. I even downloaded ff again, uninstalled oldff, and installed new. no luck. all i get is a pop up stating ...download is in progress, please wait.... but it never loads. started after last update. Is ther a way to delete the last update to firefox?
    thanks

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
    #In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How do i Restore Preview as my default viewer when using Safari,seems adobe has hi jacked Safari,if i uninstall adobe safari will not open any pdf files.

    How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
    Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.
    Have uninstalled adobe but safari then will not display any pdf files.
    Preview still works fine to view existing downloaded files.

    Niac --
    What kind of files?  PDFs?  or Others as well?
    If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
    Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
    When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
    Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
    Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.

  • Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have  same issue still

    I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

    Good day!
    Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    As you should see your version is not up to the task.
    You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.

  • Adobe Reader XI will not open any PDF file

    I have tried removing and reloading reader.  I have also tried using the WIndows Control Panel to repair the Adobe file.  Nothing has helped.  I cannot open Adobe Reader XI directly from the programs folder.  Nor will it open any PDF file when I double click the file.  I am running WIndows XP.

    Some other things to try...
    Update to Reader version 11.0.5
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Adobe 9 worked fine, then just stopped working.  Loaded adobe 11 and it will not open any .pdf files

    Why can't I get Adobe Reader 11 to work at all??  Won't open, repaired via Windows XP as suggested, does not help.  Will not open files in Emails, or stored on the disk. HELP!!!!!

    No, neither vers. 9 nor 11 will do anything by itself, no errors, no nothing, hourglass shows up for about 10-15 seconds, no message, no nothing.  Very frustrating, to say the least.  When you have 11 loaded it says Acrobat failed to load its core .DLL but this is several minutes later.  Can’t find anything relating to that problem.  Any help would be appreciated as I have some very important files that cannot be opened.

  • Photoshop CS6 will not open any graphics files

    Photoshop cs6 will not open graphic files, i have reset the settings. I get to see all the files in preview but when I try to open a file nothing happens, no error messages, no file opens, nothing.
    When I use bridge I try to open the file with open in photoshop cs6 but again nothing happens. I found that if I reboot my PC photoshop will work correctly until I shut photoshop down but if I reopen it later before rebooting my pc now graphics files will open.

  • Premiere Pro CC will not open any prproj files.

    I'm working on a feature length.  We have a premiere in 2 weeks!  My PC computer shut down yesterday afternoon so I did not restart.  (It sometimes does this)  When I switched it on this morning, I tried to start Premiere Pro but it moved at a crawl and then went into a Not responding mode.  I tried several other times to no avail.  I did an update...no help.  I uninstalled Premiere Pro and reinstalled...still will not open a file.  I need to finish this edit!!!  Any help is appreciated.

  • Adobe Reader 8 will not open any pdf files.

    I have a Mac OS X G5. I have Adobe Reader 8 installed. I cannot open any pdf files. It has never worked since installing it. I tried going to File> Open with> Adobe Reader> I get an error that says: the file could not be opened because the file is either not supported or it has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly coded). This error occurs no matter where I get the file; email or web page.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    I did get around this problem by trashing Reader 8 and confirming that I still had Reader 7.05 installed
    This tip in the MacWorld forum worked for me:

    Now I can open pdf files from the internet or email, in Reader 7.05.

  • Yesterday Encore worked fine today it will not open any old project more than 13% before crashing.

    A project i create today with no content will work fine and a project i create today with a dynamic link will work fine any ideas why this won't work?

    What is your source for the acx file? I don't understand the question?
    Encore project files do not use an xml structure. Just curious.
              I got it from the folder of the encore project
    What happens if you start the project over? New projects work fine
    Encore sometimes requires a do over. If simpler methods (delete preferences file) does not do the trick, you can temporarily rename/move the transcodes one at a time (if transcoded; the PR project if not), use "skip"  when prompted for missing things, to see if that allows you to open. Also, recreating it and seeing if the problem recurs may help you understand where the problem is. You can copy the Encore project file and directories as a backup (since you can't use save-as).
    how do i delete the preferences file? also this is happening on ALL of my older projects so i think the problem is with Encore and not to the project.
    Can you get all the DLs in? DL? do you mean dynamic link?
    Yes, can you get all the DLs into a new project?

  • Adobe Reader 9 will not open any pdf files

    I am running Windows 7 and use Adobe Reder frequently. Never had a problem. Last week, whenver I try to open a PDF file, I get a warning box "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    The only thng that changed recently was a couple large Windows updates... I am always suspect when a large update occurs. I uninstalled the Reader and Download Manager and ree-installed themm. No change in performance.
    I checked the registry key - it looks correct based on other posts.
    Does anyone have any suggestions what else to try??

    I've got the same problem. I'll look forward to solving this on this thread.
    It really sucks- I have a ton of pdf files, and can't save them to Documents or send them out of the Adobe file.

  • Photoshop CS6 Retail Subscription suddenly will not open any image files

    I signed up for a trial subscription and I have 18 days left.
    I was using this as recently as yesterday and it was fine.
    Even the 'windows' menu shows no open windows BUT the recent places menu shows the files I tried to open.
    What could the problem be?

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop Elements forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • Photoshop will not open/create new files, cannot resize images etc

    Hi to all.
    So I'll start with the basics; I am using Photoshop 7 (And yes, I am using it for a specific reason, I'm not interested in migrating to this new $1000 Creative Cloud rubbish), us Australians are getting ripped a new one and I'm happy with the $50 I paid for my copy years ago. (Please do not tell me the answer to my problems is to simply upgrade and go bankrupt. Again, I've been using 7 for a very long time without issue).
    I've been using 7 for almost a decade without issue. I stick with it because so far, it's done everything I need, has been reliable up to this point, and my plugins do not work properly with newer versions. I'm also running an older-spec system (Windows XP, 3gb ram etc) as I do a lot of work with older game engines, Source Engine etc.
    The issue I'm having doesn't appear to be Photoshop-7 specific however, there are many threads on this that have gone unanswered, and happen in CS3 etc and modern copies as well. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail. Basically, I cannot open files reliably with it.
    If I right click any image file in explorer and click "open with -> Photoshop", photoshop will launch, however it does not open the file. I double checked to ensure the file was not just opening offscreen, however it is definitely not opening at all (as the "close" option does not become available).
    If I launch photoshop manually, and click file -> open -> It will open that file, HOWEVER it will not open any more files after that.
    It also is very very fickle with simple commands, such as if I hit CTRL + T to go into transform mode and then try to rescale an image, I have to click and drag the corners at least 5-6 times before it will recognize that I am doing so, and it will also ignore the resize that I perform and snap back to normal. Sometimes I have to click things more than once to get them to register. This is not occurring with any other piece of software etc, so I've ruled out that it's an issue with my mouse.
    This has only been happening a day, and I cannot think of any particular system changes likely to result in this (ie no abnormal plugins installed recently, no major hardware or software changes). Unless my keyboard has a stuck key or something strange, I'm absolutely at a loss
    Is there anyone who can help me, or has heard of this issue?

    I am an idiot.
    I guess the scratch disk was full or something else. A simple reboot appears to have solved the problem. (I often have my system running for up to 48-64 hours at a time without reboots) as my workdays are around 36 hours at a time, so it could just be a memory constraint from XP.
    Hopefully this solves the issue for anyone else who encounters it. Reboot your pc once in a while, give it a clean slate of memory to work with.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Most current update of Photoshop - will not open any of my previously saved files?

    I have the most current update of Photoshop CC, but it will not open any files that I have previously saved. They will not open if i use the Open command or if I try and open them from the folder. I cannot create new files either. Is there something I need to fix to get this to work again? I need this for work.
