I just posted this but I did a Google and found a fix and power point is
working now..in case anyone has the same problem this is what you do to
get power point working:

RESOLUTION
To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
FOR .PPS FILES (-MICROSOFT POWERPOINT SLIDESHOW-)

- Click Start, type *regedit.exe* and press ENTER
- Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPointViewer.SlideShow.11\sh ell\Show


- Right-click *Show* and click -Rename-
- Type the word* Open* so that Show is replaced by *Open* command
- If you have *PowerPoint Viewer 2007* installed, repeat the above
steps in this key, as well:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPointViewer.SlideShow.12\sh ell\Show


- After changing *Show* to *Open*, close Registry Editor window.
