This article describes one such symptom that can occur in a PowerPoint 2007 presentation and further the possible ppt repair (PowerPoint 2007 stores the presentation in *.pptx format) solutions.

Consider, when you try to open a PowerPoint 2007 presentation, that you had created sometime back, you receive an error message of type general protection fault.

By definition, general protection fault is a condition or interrupt when protection mechanisms of a processor are violated by an application. In this specific case, Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 is the application violating the protection. As mentioned, this can happen if the file is corrupted, however there can be other reasons as well.

To know if damaged presentation is the actual cause, you should move the file in question to another computer running PowerPoint 2007. If the file can be opened without any problem, then the problem exists with the first computer and not with the presentation. But if the file cannot be opened, proceed as mentioned in 'Methods of PPTX Recovery' section.

Methods of PPTX Recovery

If you cannot open the presentation, try these methods:

Drag the corrupted PPTX file to the PowerPoint 2007 icon
Open Windows Explorer and double-click the file to open
Create a blank presentation and insert the slides from the corrupted presentation into it
If the temporary version of file exists, open it
Use PowerPoint Viewer 2007 to open the file

If you can open the presentation:

Create a blank presentation and insert the slides from the corrupted presentation into it
Create a blank presentation and transfer all the slides
Use RTF format to save the file

If none of the above solutions work for you, delete the corrupted presentation and restore from a backup, provided it is complete and non-corrupt. In other cases, you need to run a third-party utility to repair and recover powerpoint.
