When I attempt to open PowerPoint attachment in Outlook Express I get the
following message: "This file does not have a program associated with it for
performing this action. Create and association in the folder options control
panel."

If you don't already have it............

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

If you have it, then see this.

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

And / or:

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