I think you may need a newer version of Powerpoint

Get a pc?

No but really, did you use the converter from Microsoft to convert pptx to ppt?  If you didn't find it and use it.  Try redownloading the attachment.  Otherwise, shit happens, you're fucked.

u cant just rename pptx ppt, theyre different. microsoft does have something that lets you open pptx, docx & xlsx in old programs
