However I have a BIG problem.

When I tried to open a PowerPoint presentation that is password protected, I get the following error:

“Read-Error. The loading of password-encrypted Microsoft PowerPoint presentation is not supported”

I am a Trainer. My client\’s training materials are all password protected for obvious reasons.
I already have a laptop that is very tedious to travel around with. HENCE THE REASON I PURCHASED THIS BEAUTIFUL MINI PC.

I do not need or want XP or Microsoft on this machine (that is an option).

I can open Word files, Excel FIles and PowerPoint files without a problem as long as there isn\’t a password which most companies use for security reasons.
I am trying to get some technical help maybe a patch or some file. I have not been successful. So it is a disappointment for me. I am seriously thinking of returning it. I received it 3 days ago.

I am also trying to contact the company directly but to no avail.
It seems there should be a simple solution if this little baby was made to help professionals like me.
