I have installed all the pps programs on my computer but I still can not open
a pps file when it is emailed to me. Why?

I get a red circle with a X in the middle - "This file does not have a
program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association
in the Folder Options Control panel."
I have every pps program installed on my laptop (2005 Toshiba). I have to
save the attachment to my documents then right click to use pps program to
open and run the file. This is a little unorthadox and would like to able to
just open the attachment in my email and view it.

I don't know what you mean with "every pps program"; it is either
PowerPoint, or PowerPoint Viewer. If you have one of these installed,
follow the instruction you get "Create an association in the Folder
Options Control panel."

To view a pps attachment, you should have PowerPoint or PowerPoint
viewer.
And you can not view this pps file directly in a mail. You have to
save it on your local drive and then
view it.
