The command failed to execute

[Hardrock1a]

I am getting the error "The command failed to execute" when I try opening a
..pps file in windows mail. I have Power Point 2000 installed (yes, I know,
old version, but this my fathers machine and he is not wanting to buy the
latest version if this continues to work, which I can understand). Anyway,
the default file associations are properly set, and when the file is saved
into the documents directory, you can click on the file and it will open
properly. This problem is only happening in Windows Mail. Is there a simple
fix to this?

1. Find out if you have IE8 ( internet explorer 8 ).
Open IE > Help > About Internet Explorer > the next window will tell you
which version you have.
If yes, un-install IE8 : How do I uninstall or remove Internet Explorer
8?

2. If you have IE7, try this tutorial :
