I have downloaded the 2007 powerpoint, the pictures come out but not the music on my e-mail with pps. it keeps asking for a product key and I don't know what it is. It is not the one that it shows on my system. On e-mails with pictures and sound I don't get the sound. thank you

[Gerchan]

Are the presentations you are receiving created using the 2007 powerpoint file format (ie. they have the extension .ppsx)

[ejolly]

I don't know the e-mail just reads pps. I just bought this computer this past April and it has the windows vista and had to download powerpoint to open e-mails with pps. Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

MMmm you are receiving a powerpoint show.

Also make sure that the user who is sending the attachment has embedded audio (sound file) within the powerpoint file that you are receiving.

Hope this helps

There is no require for a key code to use the viewer.

Do you have a 60 day trial version of Office 2007 on your machine?

If so the 60 days may be up and it needs the key code.
If do NOT intend in buying Office 2007, then go to the control panel and uninstall it.

[ejolly]

I think I did but now it is void cause it's way past the 60 days trial. Thanks anyway. You don't know how much I appreciate the help. I'll just wait til after 9 pm because I have a cell phone only to call support and ask. Again Thank You.

I would uninstall the Ms Office trial version in Control panel Programs and Features, then the free reader will probably run correctly,
