When I rebooted en restarted PowerPoint, the Recovery runs but I can't recover my auto-saved document... When I click "Open" or "Save As" or after double clicking, Powerpoint starts opening the file ("PowerPoint is opening ppt24.tmp") but then suddenly stops. I get no error messages, but the file won't open. The recovered document is still in the "Available Files" recovery list. <BR /><BR />Anybody? :-(<BR /><BR />greetings<BR />tim Fri, 21 Jun 2002 07:18:54 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749547#M1867 Tim Lemmens 2002-06-21T07:18:54Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749548#M1868 Two things to try...<BR /><BR />1. Open a new presentation, then select Insert, Slides from outline, change the file types to All Files(*.*), then browse to the recovery file. See if it will "import" the contents.<BR /><BR />or.<BR /><BR />2. Try the demo repair tool from the below site:<BR /><BR /><A href="http://www.officerecovery.com/powerpoint/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.officerecovery.com/powerpoint/index.htm</A><BR /><BR />You may want to run the repair on a COPY of the Autosave file (just in case).<BR /><BR />Jon<BR /> Fri, 21 Jun 2002 18:07:44 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749548#M1868 Jon Finley 2002-06-21T18:07:44Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749549#M1869 hello jon!<BR /><BR />the second one is something i tried already, but alas... powerpointrecovery doesn't return a good result at all in my case. <BR /><BR />your first solution is something new. i just tried it, but then i get a "PowerPoint can't open the type of file represented by (...)." error. <BR /><BR />i guess my ppt is corrupt at all... :(<BR /><BR />tnx anyway!<BR />greetings<BR />tim Fri, 21 Jun 2002 18:16:23 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749549#M1869 Tim Lemmens 2002-06-21T18:16:23Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749550#M1870 One more link from MS to try.<BR /><BR />They provide LOTS of different ways to attempt to recover a presentation.<BR /><BR /><A href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q207377" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q207377</A><BR /><BR />Good luck!<BR /><BR />Jon<BR /> Fri, 21 Jun 2002 19:10:57 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749550#M1870 Jon Finley 2002-06-21T19:10:57Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749551#M1871 thanks jon. i tried them all, no solution... <BR /><BR />btw, i think the last solution is very cool: "open the file on a macintosh"<BR />:)))))))))))))))))))))<BR />(didn't try this anyway)<BR /><BR />greetings<BR />tim<BR /> Fri, 21 Jun 2002 19:27:53 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/powerpoint-recovery-failed/m-p/2749551#M1871 Tim Lemmens 2002-06-21T19:27:53Z
