How to open PPG file?
The main problem with Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation is that the PPG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PPG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PPG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft PowerPoint
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft PowerPoint program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft PowerPoint into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PPG files.
Programs to open PPG file
Remember to download programs supporting PPG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft PowerPoint with PPG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PPG file still does not use the Microsoft PowerPoint program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PPG file with the Microsoft PowerPoint application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft PowerPoint to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft PowerPoint with Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PPG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PPG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PPG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PPG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PPG files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PPG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PPG except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PPG to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PPG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PPG file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
