How can I open pps files from e-mail with system 7 ?
When I had vista I could open powerpoint files that came in my e-mail but now I can't with 7. I tried downloading Powerpoint from MS but it is only good for Vista.

Hi there,
Did you download Powerpoint Viewer 2007, from here? If not, do that first. If it still isn't working, set the .exe to run in Compatibility Mode for Vista SP2 and let us know if that helps.

That is a great reminder, bootsmom! :)
Thanks for reminding others of this fix and I'm very glad it worked for you.
I recently had to have Windows 7 re-installed by Microsoft Tier II Support.
I just noticed that I can no longer open .pps files from Windows Mail. Have to first save them.
I followed the steps above:
1) Installed PowerPoint Viewer 2007 - no change.
2) Followed the steps here: Unable to Open .PPS attachments directly from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail - The Winhelponline Blog - no change.
3) Went to Microsoft here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...ils.aspx?id=13 and installed the newer viewer - no change.
4) Went back to regedit and found that both the .pps and .ppt registry entries had an additional Show command added. I deleted them in the appropriate areas, leaving only the Open and Print commands.
Still not able to open .pps file in Windows Mail.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
