From: Bill & Vernie Bauer on 12 Apr 2006 15:35 I have PowerPoint reader installed in WIN XP. But I cannot read the .pps files incoming on Outlet Express. How do I fix this?? Thanks, Bill
From: Bruce Hagen on 12 Apr 2006 15:42 There is a conflict with PPS and XP/SP2.

From: Marty on 12 Apr 2006 17:32 Thank you Michael, but I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking me to download and what file to attach. Please don't go to a lot of trouble, as this is not a big problem.

From: Jim Pickering on 12 Apr 2006 17:43 Mike is suggesting you download the file (FileExtInfo) at this link: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/fileextinfo.htm Then run the file and get the information about PPS files and attach it to an email to him. See the attached graphic for what the program interface looks like. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=F9F51EF1-4AE3-4D23-B2D8-1171988A62D6 Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
