Where is my Powerpoint program?

Several years ago I bought an unused version of Microsoft Office
(standard) designed for Windows 95, which includes Microsoft
Powerpoint. I have a Sony Vaio computer with Windows XP Home Edition.
I installed the program and used several applications intermittedly
since then (about 2 years ago). I never used the Powerpoint.

Well, today I actually needed to use Powerpoint and, lo and behold, I
can't find it under the "Start -- All programs" listing. I put the
Office disk in and tried to reinstall the Powerpoint components but my
computer tells me its already installed.

Another important piece of information: about a year ago I installed a
free program called "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer 97"...

Can anyone tell me how I can access Powerpoint or properly install it?
I thank you all in advance for your answers to my query...
 
It's probably somewhere in or near C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office. Try doing
a Search for POWERPNT.EXE on your system.

Do a search for "powerpnt.exe," and then create a shortcut to it.
