I have been sent an e-mail with a pps file attachment, when i click on it i get the message:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. create an association in folder options control panel."
I know this has something to do with Powerpoint so, i right clicked the attachment and saved to "my docs" folder.But how do i view it? if i have a Powerpoint viewer where do i find it?thankyou for any help.

I'm assuming you don't have MS Office installed then.

You can download a PowerPoint Viewer from MS, which can be found here.

Alternatively, download Open Office which I think can handle .pps files, you can get that here.

Thanks for the links Capman ,I will try PowerPoint Viewer and see what happens.
