You have to change your default association to your diaporama progarm.

Just right click on any pps file and select properties from the popup menu opend.

In the properties window you can find Change button.
Click on this button and change the default program from PowerPoint to another on which you needed.

Then Apply and make OK.

After that pps will be open by your new program.

Thanks
Iqbal

And to answer your question: in theory you won't loose any data by reinstall, but it's always a good idea to make a backup of the data files before such an action. p, li { white-space: p
