"*.pps is not a valid Win32 application" error message in Windows

..This error message (*.pps is not a valid Win32 application) is returned when
attempting to open .pps attachments to emails in Windows Mail. Saving the
attachment to the hard drive, and opening the file from the new location
works, but we want to be able to open the attachment without searching
through other saved .pps fiiles

Your link is returning http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/149/1/.html for
me - ads only. Ramesh did have what looked to be a good solution, but did
not work on my computer. His second attempt was equally futile......thanks
for trying Peter
