| | WM won't open pps file Power Point slide show attachment won't open in Windows Mail. I get an error message that there's no association, but I have the Power Point viewer isntalled. When I save the attachment to the desktop, it opens and plays fine. Anybody know why it won't open directly from the e-mail program? thanx, Ron |
