How to open SLD3 file?

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft PowerPoint with SLD3 files
If, despite the installed application, the SLD3 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft PowerPoint application as the default for handling the SLD3 file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft PowerPoint to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft PowerPoint program with the Microsoft PowerPoint 3/4 For Mac Slide 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 SLD3 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SLD3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SLD3 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLD3 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SLD3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SLD3 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SLD3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SLD3 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SLD3 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SLD3 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.
