Re: cannot open .pps email attachment

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Thank you for your interest, Echo S. What´s funny is that other email
attachments that might be potentially dangerous, can be both downloaded and
opened.

Thank EchoS. I`ll try to make myself clear. As PowerPt 2003 is functional
in
my PC, I have no problems opening PowerPoint files (.pps, .ppt) that have
been downloaded previously. However, I can neither open nor download these
files if attached to emails. I don´t use Outlook as email server. I use
Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail, instead.

Thanks echo S,
I am not using Outlook Xpress for emails. Downloading emails through
any
browser I have used (Internet explorer 6, Netscape 7.7 or Mozilla 2.0)
reproduces the failure.

I have Windows XP Home Edition vrs 2002 with Service Pack 2. I also
have
a
functional Power Point (Office 2003), patched with Service Pack 3. I
can
download, save and open both excel and word email attachments but
cannot
do
the same with .pps or .ppt email attachments. The saved file
contains
no
information (o bits). The same program on a laptop runing with
Windows
XP
Home edition gives no problem. May be unproper settings in Window XP
the
reason? I would greatly appreciate any hint or help.
