Steve. I use only that one program, and no one else uses the computer.
Attachments are scanned for viruses by two programs before they're allowed in
the email. I agree that raw attachments are like minefields. Thanks for your
help.

Steve. That works, thanks. But it is not the solution I'm seeking. Until a
few week or so ago, PP automatically opened pps attachments to emails. Then
the problem I described began. Ireinstalled PP, twice. I eliminated that it
might be another program causing it by disabling all services and startups. I
used MSNmail Premium, and it seems to be OK. As PP opened it the way you
described, could the cause be lack of hookup between PP and the attchment on
the email?
What email program are you using when it doesn't work? Perhaps someone who uses
the same program will have an answer. I know I can't help with that end of it
'cause any email program that allowed anything to open automatically wouldn't last
five minutes past the first time it did that on my computer. <g>

I may not have been clear. An email has an attch, for ex: "fantastick.pps" I
click on "fantastick.pps" and get the Windows cannot open...box.
Save the attachment to your desktop, start the PowerPoint viewer then use its
file, open command to browse to the PPS you just saved and open it

None of the programs listed in BROWSE will open the attachments, even
though
they're pps.
