Keynote not responding when trying to open Power Point downloads

I'm downloading power point presentations from my university website and trying to open them with Keynote. It starts to open it up then just stops about a third of the way through the progress bar. The activity monitor says that keynote is not responding. I tried restarting my MBP, but did not work, keynote seems to be working fine when I start it on its own, any help appreciated.

Macbook pro, 2.53 Intel, 4 GB, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Come on, I'll try to help.

At first I confess that I also had trouble opening the files I had in Power Point. One of them even have 1500 slides. But in Power Point opens quickly, because most are text.

My solution: I opened the file in PowerPoint 2008 and saved it as "pptx". This is the latest version of pp. After I opened the keynote. The first time it takes to open and then gives some errors. It's just you solve, the error sources and images and save to "key" (keynote).

I think it is. At least for me it worked.

Sorry for English. I used a translator.

I saw the posted response but I don't have Powerpoint (just keynote). Did you find another solution?

Any help is appreciated,
