    Powerpoint & other office products

    I downloaded Office 2010 trial version and installed on my PC running Vista Ultimate X32.
    I get the following error message when trying to run ANY of the office programs:
    "This file does not have a program association with it for performing
    this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel".
    Checked the associations in "Default programs", file associations for ppt and pps types
    are Microsoft Powerpoint. however, the programs stop after giving the error message.
    How can I overcome this problem ?

    I found a solution that worked in Microsoft KB .
    The link is

    Prevent "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect..." error starting Access

    and it worked.
    Thanks
