WM won't open pps file

[Guest]

Power Point slide show attachment won't open in Windows Mail. I get an error
message that there's no association, but I have the Power Point viewer
isntalled. When I save the attachment to the desktop, it opens and plays
fine. Anybody know why it won't open directly from the e-mail program?

thanx,
Ron

Thank you, your tip fixed it here too.

Can't MS fix what appears to be the REAL problem? Power Point Viewer?

Strangely it will open .xls Excel attachments with no fiddling around.
(Except to download the Viewer).
