Hi Gummio
The client uses Internet Explorer to play Powerpoint items - because Powerpoint offers very little by way of an API to hook in to it.
Save any old powerpoint file on your desktop.
Open Internet Explorer on the client, and then drag the PP file in to the address bar of IE.
IE should pop up a box asking what you want to do with the file. Say Open and make sure the "Always do this with files of this type" is checked.
The powerpoint should then open inside IE.
That should then work inside the player too.
Cheers
Alex
