Check the file /includes/mime.types. The line "application/msword" probably just has the "doc" extension. So what is happening is that your ppt extensions are being determined to be "application/msword", which I agree is incorrect, then the extension is checked and found not to be "doc", and so it fails to upload. The workaround is to add "ppt" to the "application/msword" mime type in the mime.types file. So modify the line the line to be:
application/msword doc ppt
I'm a little surprised "wgVerifyMimeType= false;" didn't work.

It did work for him. But when a powerpoint was server with a word mime, the browsers were unable to open the right application. This is because Office documents are so similar that file can detect which office type is. I remember someone posted here a hack changing the mime of Office files depending on the extension.
