Fixed about five years ago.
There is a conflict with PPS and XP/SP2. See this link for a fix:

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
