Default Can't open PPS files

Can't view PPS files in my Outlook Express 6. Folder Options default for this
file type is set on Microsoft Power Point Slide Show. I don't have a MS Power
Point Viewer in the Folder Option list. Hopefully those are one and the same
the same???

I lost the MS Viewer somehow and had to download another one from the web
back last summer. Now the only way I can view a .pps file is to save it to my
computer. Then the MS Power Point Viewer will open it.

How can I get the MS viewer to open .pps file attachments in OutLook Express?

Thanks,
BJ

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