I occasionally receive e mail messages with attachments having a .pps file extension. When I try to open these, I get the error message that this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action and directs me Folders Options in Control Panel. The .pps files come from Microsoft Office, I think - Power Point which I do not have on my computer. When I get into the Folder Options screen and check the File Types list, I see that I do have a .pps listed. I assume I should highlight this and click on something but what?

PowerPoint Viewer 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=048DC840-14E1-467D-8DCA -19D2A8FD7485&displaylang=en If you have problems with that version, here's an older one.

I installed the link, and now in my File Types, I see several file extensions with Power Point references, including the .pps that I had all along. But I still get the error messge when I try to open my email attachement. Is there something that I must do in the Folder Options screen with the.pps file extension highlighted, or what? Thanks again Roger SignatureRoger > >I occasionally receive e mail messages with attachments having a .pps file > > extension.

Meanwhile, post back and let me know what program you use for email.

Presumably you installed the newer version from 2007. If your e-mail address for your posting is valid, I just sent you a second PPS file just so you can verify that it is not the file itself. > If your e-mail address for your posting is valid, I just sent you a second > PPS file just so you can verify that it is not the file itself. I see it is apparently not valid.
