Fixed about five years ago.

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

Unless it is just a file association problem.

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works, PowerPoint Viewer, 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.

I know there has been a problem opening Power Point files from OE, though I
haven't heard anything lately. I have to save them to a file then open
them which is quite inconvenient.

Has there been any 'fix' for that problem?

Thanks much,

Mike
