| Guest | Powerpoint File Association Problem I just set up a PC for a client so that he could view PowerPoint presentations using the PowerPoint viewer. If he saves an attachment from an email he can then just double-click on the file and it starts in the viewer. However, from within mail he gets a message asking if he wants to open the PowerPoint file (Windows has detected the association), then is told that there is no association. Any ideas? Thanks Dave |
