Nokia C3: PowerPoint 2003 files get corrupted after Windows Update

PowerPoint 2003 files get corrupted after Windows Update
My PC is currently running with Windows XP. Yesterday I have installed the latest Windows updates. After the completion of update I have noticed that Power Point 2003 files get corrupted. Yes, I am talking about .ppt files. Whenever I try to open these files I am getting some kind of error message saying that PowerPoint was not capable to show a few of the text, images, otherwise objects like slides inside the file (name) for the reason that they have turn out to be corrupt. Exaggerated slides have been restored by empty slides within the presentation and it is not probable to recuperate vanished data. Does anybody know about this thing?

To resolve this trouble, you should uninstall the update "Security Update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 (KB2464588)." In support of Windows 7, go to Control Panel> Programs and Features. Into the left panel, click "View installed updates." Afterward gaze for the update, choose it, and afterward click "Uninstall" on the peak of the window.

Corrupted or damaged documents are different from the normal behavior of others, for example, infinite repagination, format and design document incorrect, unreadable characters on the screen, error messages during the process, system crashes when you load or view the document or any other unusual behavior that cannot be attributed to the normal operation of the program. The easiest way to do this is to use the "Retrieve Document" in Microsoft Office programs is found in the file menu, and then going to Open ... in the dialog box select the file has been damaged after select Open and Repair after you save the document open and ready again.

WordFIX is a program to recover and repair MS Word files.

Microsoft Word automatically utilizes the Open and Repair attribute if it notices an issue within a document to untie it. On the other hand, you can create Word employ the Open and Repair aspect in order to open whichever document. This can be particularly helpful if you plan to save the document into a dissimilar file format. If you save a spoiled document within a dissimilar file format might not be capable to open it.

A supported hotfix is obtainable from Microsoft. On the other hand, this hotfix is planned to correct merely the issues that are described for this issue. If the file is really corrupted and cannot be recovered in any manner then I don’t think that you will get any help with the restore utilities in order to fix this issue. Furthermore once again run the Windows updates hoping that this time you will get that the hotfix which you have been looking for.
