Re: "*.pps is not a valid Win32 application" error message

Ramesh - you are the best!! *Happy Dance * happening here! I thought to
check default programs after I read another post and under " associate a file
type with a program..." found that .pps was associated with 2007 Microsoft
Office Componnent and NOT 2007 Power Point Viewer.....once I correected
that....PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! (as a note of interest, all the other .pp* file
types in the list were correctly associated!)

Thanks

:>Rae
