Re: PowerPoint won't work with email attachs

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

What happens when you double-click a saved PPS on the desktop opposed to
clicking it in an email?

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?

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.

Thanks, Andy. Sorry to say it didn't work. When I click on a
.pps
attach I
get Windows Cannot Open This File and am asked to fgind the
program
that
created it. PowerPoint is not among the choices.

Hi "Zammer",

Try saving it to your desktop and opening it from
there...........
Just
a
thought.

Good Luck.
