I have powerpoint 2007. I downloaded the fix as you recommended and now I
am
able to open in outlook express. Wow! This is my first use of this group
and
I frankly did not expect much. You are awesome! Thank you very much.

Download PowerPoint Viewer 2003:

If you have it, then see this.

There is a conflict with PPS and XP/SP2. See this link for a fix:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ppsopen.htm

And / or:

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box:
Always
use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to
open
these attachments in the future.
