Default Attached File link Dead

When I try to open an attached Power Point file using the MS PPt
Viewer, it says no file association exists. However, the file opens
fine if downloaded to a folder and the file association appears OK?
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Two possibilities:

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

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.

It was the file by Ramesh Srinivasan that did the trick.
