I have a few files which are in PowerPoint files, they
are large over 20MB. I have one that gives me an
error "Memory is nearly full. You should save your work
and close any other open presentations." That's before I
open the program. I have worked with it yesterday, saved
properly, even restarted the computer stil nothing.

Other problem is " There was an error accessing: .." the
file location etc... That's mostly becuase the computer
crashed while I was working on it. It's on autorecovery
but still doesn't open.

Please help I can't lose the information in these files.

Only the TMP stuff worked, I was able to get my old files
from last year but nothing of the new stuff. Is there
anything else you know that will help?

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

Even in the latest version of PowerPoint (2003), there is no built-in
(in-the-box) capability to save multiple versions of presentations so that,
for example, if accidently delete or overwrite the most recent version or
the AutoRecover feature is unable to recover everything, there will be be
an older version that you can use. However, in the future, if you are using
Windows SharePoint Services and saving your presentations (and other
documents) in a SharePoint document library, you can use SharePoint
Services to enable versioning so that you can go back to previous versions
of the presentation if you accidentally save over and existing presentation.

However, if versioning or some other form of automatically making backup
copies of your presentation files directly from PowerPoint (not requiring
SharePoint or some other external document management technology) is
important to you (or anyone else reading this message), please send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:
