I got an attachment -pps and when I try to open it, I get an error message
saying I have to associate this file with a program. I have the pps viewer
that I downloaded from Micosoft and it works when I save the file to a folder
and click on it there. My XP computer just runs these files from Outlook
Express. How do I get Live Mail to do the same thing?

This is the normal fix for Windows Mail.... don't know if it works the same
for WLM....
if you don't mind editing the registry...
