I have an older version of MS Powerpoint (4.0). Everything I can find on .pps ext. says it is a Powerpoint Slide Presentation file, however, whenever I receive an e-mail attach. with this ext. and try to download it, Powerpoint give me the error box with the red X saying, "Sorry, this is not a powerpoint extension."
I have opened a folder, clicked on view/folder options/file types, and in the Registered File Types box, I found the PPS file extension listed. When I highlight 'PPS file', the file type details directly beneath shows this; Extension: PPS, Content Type (MIME): (this area is blank), Opens with: POWERPNT. So....my question is, 'Why won't Powerpoint open these files?' What do need to do to get my machine to open these .pps attachments?
I don't use my system for any office apps., mostly gaming and surfing, and don't know much about Word, Excel, Pwrpt.,etc. I just want it to open these attachments when they come up on an e-mail. Any help appreciated.
