Is there a setting that allows me to view attachment in Outlook Express.

I have received a PPS file that I am unable to open and get a box that comes
up with;
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 been in the folder options but with no success. Any help much
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a Power Point viewer?

Download PowerPoint Viewer 2003:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Do you have a Power Point viewer, but are using XP?

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

We have XP don't know about SP2 though. Sorry can't be more precise, how
would we know and what shall we do next?

Thanks

In OE | Help | About. What numbers does it show for msoe.dll?

Do you have any critical updates not downloaded?

And, /do/ you have a Power Point Viewer installed? It would be listed in
Programs.

It's most likely that the association for PPS files does not have a "Open"

Unable to open .PPS attachments directly from Outlook Express?:
