Understanding PPG Issues


Frequent PPG Opening Issues

Microsoft PowerPoint Disappeared

You attempt to load your PPG file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The PPG File Extension". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft PowerPoint for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the PPG file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: Another PPG-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of Microsoft PowerPoint

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Microsoft PowerPoint from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation file was created by a newer version of Microsoft PowerPoint than you have on your PC.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of PPG file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening PPG files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft PowerPoint installed.


Other Causes of PPG File Opening Problems

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft PowerPoint will resolve your issue. If you're still experiencing problems opening PPG files, there could be other computer problems. Additional factors include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for PPG
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry PPG description
  • Defective install of a PPG program, such as Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Something has caused file corruption of your PPG
  • Your PPG is infected with malware
  • Device drivers for PPG-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation files
