power point attachments

In Windows Mail, while trying to open a pps attachment it's telling me I
don't have a program associated with the file. It also tells me to create an
association in the Set Associations control panel. Where do I find Set
Associations control panel? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. That was really easy and straight forward directions.
I still have the same problem. I went over and over it and it's not
working, any suggestions?

No, the viewer should be sufficient. When you double-click on a .PPS file
does it open in the PowerPoint Viewer? If not, right-click on the .PPS file,
select "Open with..." and the rest should be obvious.

Gary thanks for helping. This is really upsetting. If I right click and
then open, it still doesn't go to the power point viewer. I've gone over and
over that link and followed it word for word. I changed Show to Open. I
even restarted the computer and know help.

I didn't say "right-click, open". I said right-click, Open WITH...

When I double click on a .pps file the viewer doesn't open. If I right click
the file there isn't a "open with" option to pick.

You have saved the pps file to your hard drive?
