Power point not "installed"?

[RBear3]

I recently had Office 2007 installed for a few months to do some testing. I
then reverted back to 2003. Everything seems to be working fine, but I lost
a file relationship and I don't know how to get it back.

When I double-click on a PowerPoint file, nothing happens. The file has a
PowerPoint icon.

I tried Right-clicking and selecting "open with" and then selecting
"Microsoft Office Power Point". When I do, nothing happens.

I tried Right-clicking and selecting "open with" and then selecting "Choose
Program...". This has two recommended programs "IE" and "PowerPoint". When
I select PowerPoint, I get the error C:\Documents and Settings\... This
action is only valid for products that are currently installed.

* I can run Power Point from the Start menu. It is installed.

I tried Right-clicking and selecting "open with" and then selecting "Choose
Program...". I scrolled down the "Other Programs" and all the Office
Products are listed except Power Point.

I tried Right-clicking and selecting "open with" and then selecting "Choose
Program...". I tried "Browse..." and located Power Point. I selected it,
then tried to click "OK" and got When I selected it, I got the error the
error - C:\Documents and Settings\... This action is only valid for
products that are currently installed.

Any idea why Windows does not think that PowerPoint is installed even though
I am able to run it?

You've run an Office repair?

Okay, I ran a repair and I still have slightly better reflexes. I no longer
get the error messages, but still, when I double-click a PowerPoint file
icon on my desk, nothing happens. In order to open PowerPoint
presentations, I have to open PP from my Start menu, then use the "open"
command within PowerPoint and browse for the desired file.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks!!

Okay, I went into Explorer and selected "File Types". I found the PPT type
and clicked the "restore" button and it fixed the problem.

Thanks All.
