  1. Start PowerPoint 2010.
  2. On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click New Slide, and then click Reuse Slides.
  3. In the Reuse Slides pane, click Open a PowerPoint File.
  4. In the Browse dialog box, locate and then click the presentation file that contains the slide that you want, and then click Open.
Then save file in .pptx ... It could be a problem with older PP files.

You may also try:

a) Right-click on the PowerPoint filename and select Properties.
b) In the dialogue box that opens, click on the "Unblock" button.
c) And press OK.

This error message may appear in PowerPoint 2010 after other error messages and generally appears when you try to open a PowerPoint file you've downloaded from the internet or in some cases, a network directory.

Solution
· Right-click the problem file in Windows Explorer.

· Click Properties on the pop-up menu.

· On the General tab of the Properties dialog box, click "Unblock"

· Click OK.

Note: "Unblock" is at the bottom of the Properties dialog box. If the file isn't blocked, the Unblock button won't be there, so this won't be the solution to the problem.

Fix PowerPoint
If you follow these steps, you won't see this message when opening .ppt file. You won't get the protection that this feature offers (though it's debateable whether it offers enough protection to outweigh the aggravation, especially if you have your antivirus and malware protection software up to date.

· Start PowerPoint

· Choose File then Options

· Click "Trust Center" on the left, then click "Trust Center Settings" on the right

· In the Trust Center dialog that opens, click "Protected View" on the left then REMOVE the checkmark next to "Enable protected view for files originating from the internet"

· OK your way back out of all open dialog boxes.

· Try opening the file again.

Also I can suggest this program Recovery Toolbox for PowerPoint https://powerpoint.recoverytoolbox.com/

Good luck!
