can't open power point slide show attachments in windows mail.

when trying to open power point attachment (.pps) Get a message that attachment does not have a program associated with it.. create an association in the association control panel which I can't find.

 

Problem solved .. changed association from power point viewer to power point and attachments open thanks

 

Click on start->control panel->Default programs-> Associate a file type
or protocol with a program. Set the association there for MS-Office
Powerpoint (or whatever) by selecting .pps extension clicking on change
program button at the top.

Mannyo,
Do you have Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer ? You need it to view
powerpoint attachment.
If you don't, go to Internet Explorer and ' google ' it.

I am strugging with the same issue I did find the "create an
association"...says it is already created...but doesn't do anything. Will I
be forced to download the ppt. to my desktop each time?? Hope not! Anyone
with answers, please respond!
