Outlook Express 6 - can't open .pps attachment

[Guest K-Bob]

All of a sudden I am unable to open powerpoint attachments. I get the

following message: "This file does not have a program associated with it for

performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control

panel."

 

How do I do this?

Thanks,

K. Christiansen

1: 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.

 

2: Unable to open .PPS attachments directly from Outlook Express using

XP/SP2 or XP/SP3:

Power Point is part of Microsoft Office and never part of any Windows

or email program. You need to have a version of Microsoft Office,

with Power Point, installed in order to open these directly from

Outlook Express / Windows Mail.

 

Did you every have a Microsoft Office installed?
