That appears to be a independent program that you have to purchase. I was
looking for something Microsoft would have developed to fix the problem.
They have a lot of places on their site that says click here to fix the
problem I was hoping for that type of fix. Scary Mary

No, Mary, that is not an independent program which you have to purchase. As
a matter of fact, I just used the fix 2 days ago. It worked, and FREE. (
What link did you click at ? )

I clicked on this link http://tinyurl.com:80/27mzp3 and choose the PPS fix
one on the right side. Maybe I am misunderstanding what it is saying. Is
this the correct site and fix. Scary Mary

Hi Scary Mary,

I can not see anything related to the problem on the right side.
It seems that you got confused by the layout if the page.
Below the headline there are two advertisings for commercial programs.
You were not meant to use those. It was the intention to get you to read
the article.
Below the ads there is the sub-headline "Symptoms".
Start reading there.
From what you said in this thread I doubt, however, that it was too wise
to recommend the recipe to you. It needs editing the Registry and for
that *experience is necessary.
Let me therefore ask: Do you know how editing the Registry works?
In case not, you'd better not try it yourself. Try to find someone
experienced and let him do the job.
Apart:
I'm still wondering on the situation on your side. Therefore some
questions:
1.) Do you have PowerPoint and/or the PowerPoint Viewer installed on
your system?
One of the two is needed for viewing PPS-shows.
Can you open PPS files un the Explorer?
2.) Which application is associated with the file type PPS?
3.) Are PPS-attachments the only ones that can not be opened?
How about JPG and TXT files and other Office file types?
2.) In case case the latter don't open too: Do you have IE8 installed?

I did try to edit the registry did not fix the issue, Power Point Viewer is
installed and working, you can save a pps file to documents and open it
there it will not open in Windows mail. I think I found the correct download
by the way will attempt that as advised. Thanks for all the help. Scary Mary

Just on the run ...
Most IMPORTANT: Nobody did recommend any download!!
!!! Don't spoil your system with downloaded Tuning/Cleaning software of
unknown origin!!!!
Thanks for the explanation.
It seems that your problem is *NOT* a PPS-problem.
If editing the registry as advised did not help and PPS-files can be
opened outside WinMail IMHO most likely you are bitten by the
IE8-WinMail bug (as so many others).
Unfortunately you did only answer a part of my questions {siiigh}.
Pls re-read at the end.
Do you have IE8 installed?
And most - important -: How about other types of attachments, especially
JPG and TXT??
Pls be so kind and test this. You may send a mail to yourself with
attachments.
And pls tell us which error message you receive with PPS-files
(exactly).
As above: Nobody did advise on downloading and using any tools!!!
Serious misunderstanding un your side.
No tools needed.
