when I try to open pps attachments i get a message saying "this file does not
have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an
association in the folder options control panel" I have played around with
this with no success!

Do you have a pps program?

You need Windows Power Point Viewer to open .pps files. Download it he

If it once worked and you upgraded to Win XP/SP2 then..........

There is a conflict with PPS and XP/SP2. See this link for a fix:
