Once in a while, you may run across a file with a PPZ extension. If you try
to open these files in PowerPoint, you won't get very far--they simply won't
open.
A PPZ file might be a PowerPoint Animation file, a streaming format intended for Web use, not for exchanging presentations among PowerPoint users.
More likely: the PPZ file is a packed (by Pack and Go) PowerPoint file. When the file was packed in the first place, Pack and Go created the PPZ file and also a PNGSETUP.EXE file. If you have both, simply put them together in the same folder and run PNGSETUP. It will unpack the PPZ and you're good to go.

The main trick to running this video smoothly is to save the files to your C: drive in the same directory; and then execute the file named pngsetup.exe. It will ask you where you want to extract the video to, and you should choose a very simple path name such as C:\VIDEO\ and answer yes when it asks to create the folder. Everything should run fine from there.
