| | Opening .PPS Extension Files In Windows Mail I am having trouble opening an attachment with a .PPS extension in an email in Windows Mail. When I click on the attachment, I get the dialog box whether to open it or not. The box indicates that it recognizes it as a PowerPoint presentation. However when I open it, I get the error message that there is not a program associated with this file type. However, when I go into the "set associations" activity in Windows Vista, the .PPS extension is listed and Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer is the program associated with it. I can save it to my hard drive, and open it successfully via explorer. Any ideas? |
