Open Add/Remove Programs | Make sure the "Show Updates" box is checked
(top-right) | Scroll down and confirm that NEITHER of the following are
listed, Jim:

- MS Office PowerPoint Viewer 2003

- Security Update for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB954038)

Rhetorical question: If you don't have PowerPoint Viewer 2003 or PowerPoint
Viewer 2007 installed and you chose not to install PowerPoint when you
installed Office 2003, how do you open PowerPoint files (e.g., PPS; PPT)?
