Hello there. I am having exactly the same problem here in Scotland and have
tried everything you suggested. NO LUCK. I have pp on my program list and
CAN open pp presentations but when the attachment to an email is to be opened
I have the same problems as Geetesh and none of the suggestions to him have
made it work. PLEAS help. When I browse I too cannot find the pp programme
..
I have been trying for 3!!!!!days now and at the age of 60 that is no mean
feat!
Greetings Annette
 
Thank you for that compliment!!
I have powerpoint 2007.
When I go into 'start'-'programmes'-micosoft office'- powerpoint and click I
can open the program no trouble.
When I get an email with a pps attachment I usually click on it, double
click on the attachment and it opens. Not now. It comes up with the icon of
another program. Like quick time player or media centre or whichever I choose
.....
I try to R click and browse for powerpoint but it is nowhere to be found. I
have searched through all files and found microsoft office but even in that
list no Powerpoint.
I have never been stumped like this before. I am self taught so have
reached my limits I think. Please help if you can. KR
 
Michael Good news... I have been able (on 3rd attempt) to download the pps
viewer and have made a small step for mankind! Not quite there yet though.
When i open the attachment now, I click on it, and on being asked if I want
to run it I click yes, than a window opens headed 'open' with and a list of
recommended programs appears. (including the Microsoft Office Powerpoint
Viewer which I click to open the attachment yippie!)
How do I delete the 3 other programmes that are on this list? Rclick does
not do anything....I though this might delete them.

Not that there is a huge need for this Just some extra clicking, but being a
perfectionist I would like to be able to bring it all beck to how it was. At
least I can sleep tonight.
