File attachment error message
I am trying to open an email with .pps attachment through Outlook Express. I have downloaded Power Point 2007 from Microsoft but am still unable to open file. I get the message file does not have program associated with it to perform this action. I tried saving file to disk and opening but would not work. I am running Windows XP. Any suggestions.
