With the limited information supplied...

Use PowerPoint (costs money) instead of looking at the .PPT file using the
PowerPoint Viewer (free download).

An alternate (does not cost money) is the open source and
free-as-in-beer OpenOffice suite.

This tutorial converts Microsoft Powerpoint Presentations to Sun Office
or Open Office Presentations.

When opening a Powerpoint presentation using Open Office, the slide
transition settings do not always convert and are not applied. You will
need to manually set the transition settings using Open Office Impress
(Presentation).

Once you have set the transitions, you can save in MS Powerpoint format
and the transitions will work for both Powerpoint and Open Office
Presentations.

Available for download: http://www.openoffice.org/

(Also available for probably $10US or so at http://cheapbytes.com.)
