Re: No sound in PPS file in Outlook Express

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

I have PPV97 running on Win98se that will open an OE6 PPS file attachment
with a double click. I just added PPV2007 to my wife's WinXP SP3 laptop and
the only way it will open a PPS file is to save it to her hard drive then do
a double click. I have gone into Folder Options and assured the file
association is correct but when attempting to open the attachment in OE, we
get the file association needs to be made in Folder Option! Seems that
anything M$ 2007 and OE is broken, what else is new.

Are you running PPV 2003 or PPV 2007 (SP1)?

PPS attachments do not open in "Outlook," they open in PowerPoint
(Viewer).

[Outlook and Outlook Express are not the same thing so be careful with
your
shorthand, please, else you may get incorrect advice.]

Hi, I have Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer.
If I save them to my documents they work fine, only in Outlook some have
sound and some don't.

If you save the PPS attachment to your hard-drive and then open it, do
you
have sound? Do you have sound in any PPS files you open?

What version of PowerPoint (PP) or PowerPoint Viewer (PPV) are you
using?
