[Comphelp] PowerPoint Problem?

[Dave Donkers]

Barclay  --

You should be able to use the PowerPoint viewer which is
available on the Microsoft site and I think is on the CD
under VirtualPC and run the .ppt presentations without
further compiling.  The only problem I can think of might
be if VirtualPC doesn't work with your sound hardware.

I'm not a Mac user, so you can probably get more
knowledgable advice from the Mac users out here.

You might also try searching the Web for similar problems,
or going to the VirtualPC website.
