I'm unable to open .pdf files when they're sent to me as an attachment to Outlook Express.

I'm getting an error window that says "...(filename).pdf is not a valid Win32 application." I
have no problem opening .pdf files when they're like part of a website and used for something
like an annual report, etc. (I've even tried saving to "My Documents" the .pfd file that comes
down attached to an Outlook Express email and then right-clicking the file name (in "My
Documents" and opening it with PowerPoint - I still get the "...not a valid Win32
application.")

I'm running XP and Office 2007.

Anyone have any suggestions?

..pdf files are blocked, see:

Power point will not open Adobe .pdf files, for that you need Adobe Reader.

Why would you try to open a pdf with powerpoint? You need a pdf reader such
as that from Adobe.
