I sometimes receive email attachments which are .pps
files. When I try to run these PowerPoint appears in the
task bar but does not open the show or anything else. No
menu on right clicking the task bar icon for PowerPoint
but can close it using alt-F4. Am using PowerPoint 2002
SP# with XP Home SP2 (problem present before I put in SP2)
Any ideas would be appreciated.

This will explain what's probably going on:

Can't run slideshow / slideshow won't start

To open the presentation in order to fix it, start PowerPoint then use File,
Open to browse to and open the PPS file.
