Execute the following on the SharePoint CA Server using SharePoint 2010 Powershell
Get-SPPowerPointServiceApplication | Set-SPPowerPointServiceApplication -EnableSandboxedViewing $false
Get-SPPowerPointServiceApplication | Set-SPPowerPointServiceApplication -EnableSandboxedEditing $false
Get-SPPowerPointServiceApplication | Set-SPPowerPointServiceApplication -EnableSandboxedEditing $false
It is also worth confirming that the Web Application Pool account for PowerPoint has DBOwner assigned to the content databases in SQL you wish to view and edit PowerPoint Presentations.
$OffWASvcPoolIdentity=”DOMAINPowrAP”;
Get-SPWebApplication|%{$_.GrantAccessToProcessIdentity($OffWASvcPoolIdentity);}
Get-SPWebApplication|%{$_.GrantAccessToProcessIdentity($OffWASvcPoolIdentity);}
