An employee worked hard day and night to create a business
presentation. However, when that employee came to office to represent that
presentation, it did not open. The only thing that an employee could see was an
error message stating that the PowerPoint file is corrupt. Repetitive attempts
of opening the file failed and all the data saved in the slides became
inaccessible. Since the employee had no backup of the PPT, the only hope to
repair PPT file was only by using a third-party PowerPoint recovery tool.
The above situation can occur to any of us. The most common
error message that pops up after a PPT file is corrupted is mentioned
underneath:
“PowerPoint cannot
open the type of file represented by filename.ppt”
When and why the
corruption occurs?
- Few main causes of a PPT file corruption are improper system shutdown, virus attack, turning on ‘Allow fast saves’ option, application problems, too large file, and interrupted read/write operation.
- Corruption mostly damages the header (8 byte storage area for all the major components) of a PPT file. The bytes saved in the header either get changed or deleted.
How to overcome
corruption?

However, few of them that are used most often are listed underneath:
- Use PPT slides from files on the Insert menu
- Place a TMP file
