Can't open Powerpoint files from Outlook express

[Mel]

May not be the correct forum --sorry--Have just installed
xp and all my old configuration to new HD--All seems OK except for Power
Poing from within e-mail attachments--Has worked in the past--All Powerpoint
associations are in place in Folder options/file types but still no joy--
What have I done wrong this time? Really appreciate any
suggestions--Thanks---Mel

Powerpoint doesn't come with XP, it has to be purchased and installed
separately. Can you confirm that Powerpoint is installed? If not see this
link for viewing these files without Powerpoint.

If it is installed see this.
Unable to open .PPS attachments directly from Outlook Express?
