Running XP, SP3 - downloaded Free Power Point Viewer for 2007. After many
trials and errors I can finally get the program to open automatically when I
click on a .pps attachment in an email, but then I get multiple error
messages telling me the program cannot find a file. Each time I click "OK"
on one, another one pops up. The files that it is looking for are, in this
order: "Document", "and", "Local", "Temporary", "Internet" and "(name of
file)".
It seems that the program is unable to find my Temporary Internet file
folder and when I tried to find it using windows Explorer, I could not find
it either. Is this a PPV problem or an internet explorer problem, or what?

Save the PowerPoint file attachment to your hard disk, then open it.
Temporary files can sometimes be troublesome to find.

Are you using Outlook Express for mail? (You left that part out).

Unable to open .PPS attachments directly from Outlook Express using XP/SP2
or XP/SP3:
