MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint 3.0 and 4.0 place their graphic import filters in the following folder:   C:\Windows\Msapps\Grphflt. If other programs install 16-bit graphics filters into this folder, PowerPoint 3.0 and 4.0 can use them.

PowerPoint for Windows 95 places it's graphic import filters into this folder:   C:\Program Files\Common Filtes\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt If other programs install 32-bit graphics filters into this folder, PowerPoint for Windows 95 can use them.

Microsoft does not guarantee that PowerPoint will work correctly with additional filters, however.
