  1. Opening files


    Hi,


    When trying to open a normal file, e.g., Word, or Excel, it appears in the Taskbar, but will not open to the main screen. It cannot be cancelled from the taskbar either. Could someone help please?

    :)

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile Opening files :)
