Vista - can't view power point

I have power point viewer installed on my pc using vista.But when I try to
open an email containing a pps message I get a warning message saying this
file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
Create an association in the set associations control panel. Where is this
set association control panel?

Mine did that, so I took out PPv 7 and reinstalled 2003 it works.

I have PPV 2003 installed and I have the same problems with opening pps files
through Windows Mail even though there is an association created. Microsoft
doesn't seem to have any answers.
