Programs to open PPNT file
Remember to download programs supporting PPNT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft PowerPoint with PPNT files
If, despite the installed application, the PPNT file does not start in the Microsoft PowerPoint application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PPNT file with the Microsoft PowerPoint application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft PowerPoint to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft PowerPoint program with the Microsoft PowerPoint For Mac Presentation file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PPNT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PPNT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PPNT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PPNT 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 PPNT files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PPNT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PPNT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PPNT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PPNT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PPNT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PPNT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
