Recently I tried to open a .pps file attachment to an email and I received the following message: The converter failed to save the file.
I assumed that my version of Power Point Viewer 7 was corrupted for whatever reason, and downloaded and installed it again. I had previously downloaded the service pack that went with it.
Tried to open the same file and I got the same message. I then tried opening .pps files that I've had on my computer for eons and I got the same message.
I don't know if this is coincidence or not, but I had been having problems with my router (Buffalo Air Station Turbo G) not letting me connect with the hughesnet satellite so I disconnected the router and went directly from the satellite modem to the back of my computer. I am assuming that is when the problem started as I hadn't had problems with .pps files prior to that. Thanks for listening.
