Hey guys, really stuck here.


Right so I have a laptop running windows 8.1 and Office 13.
I have downloaded a series of Powerpoint files from my university website but only some actually work.
There are 2 in particular which are 97-2003 files. When I try to open them I get the message-box saying "Powerpoint can't open this type of file" - it then goes on to say it may be the wrong file type/corrupt etc.
Thing is I know there is nothing wrong with the file because my friend who has a macbook and office can open it no problem. Same file downloaded from same place/time etc. However, there are other 97-2003 files that open no problem too.

Really need some advice here folks as I have been unable to find anything online anywhere.
