    This is one of them. It seems that I cannot access any microsoft sites.

    http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlid...3&p1=PPT&p2=11

    ...and this.

    Some friend in Uni have sent me some work for a presentation that we are doing and I guess they are using a different version of word and powerpoint to the one that I have. I have windows XP.

    I get the message saying that I have to download a compatibility pack but when I click on YES I just get the IE page that says I cannot access this site.

    The same thing has happened when I try to download the newest version of MSN messenger.

    Cheers for your help.

    Pretty sure they have sent you the .docx and .pptx versions? Those are the vista (updates) versions.

    The really simplest thing to do is ask them to resend the files in .doc and .ppt. Two clicks for them, which they probably know how to do.

    If not, they need click save as, and then "save as word/powerpoint 97-2003 document", and re send to you.

    easy for them (they will be able to open and work with your revised version no problems), and, frankly a pain in the arse for you to do it another way....

    (and they are probably used to doing it anyway!).
