PowerPoint 2007 won't open files from PowerPoint 97

I'm trying to review some presentations from a program I managed 10 years
ago. They were created in PowerPoint 97 (I think, possible one release
earlier) and I can't open them. Yet, in Vista I do see the thumbnail of the
first page when I examine the files. I'd say 50% of the files I have open,
the rest I get an error:

PowerPoint can't open the type of file represented by <path/filename>.ppt

Any ideas on how to fix this? If they are from a version earlier that PP
97 - can I convert them?
