Hi Ancient 1,

The information at the linked page should prove helpful.

After installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, when you open a .PPS file that
came as a mail attachment in Outlook Express, you may see the Open / Cancel
dialog box. When you select Open, the following error may be displayed:

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel

I can save PPS attachments, then open them from inside Microsoft Office
Power
Point Viewer. But when I try to open them from OE6, I get the message "This
file does not have a program associated with it for peforming this action.
Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." However, the
association is there. How do I get OE to recognize it?
