OE is connected to IE for part of that security and an update of IE could have changed these settings.In OE select from top menu: Tools>Options>Security tab.For the insternet zones (part connected to IE) make sure "Internet zone, less secure, but more functional" is selected. Also make sure "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could po
go about configuring your system to view PPS files. by Leo A. Notenboom, © 2006 I followed your instructions to create a file association for PPS files, but I still get an error when I try to open PPS files attached to email. What http://ask-leo.com/pps_files_still_dont_work_even_after_i_created_an_association_what_do_i_do.html am I doing wrong? • It's hard to say, but I will say that for some reason, PPS files cause a lot of people consternation. Let's review what you should do, and what to do if that doesn't work. • First off let me remind you that you must have either PowerPoint or PowerPoint Viewer installed. PowerPoint comes with Microsoft Office, and the PowerPoint Viewer is a free download from Microsoft (here). The difference is, of course, that PowerPoint will let you create PowerPoint presentations, while outlook express the viewer will only allow you to view them. Now, as I stated in my previous article This file does not have a program associated with it - what does this mean and what do I do?, the most common solution is to simply install the program that understand PPS files. If you don't have Microsoft Office, that means downloading and installing the free PowerPoint Viewer. Setting it up should create all the appropriate associations for you to be able to view PPS files. If you outlook express pps have Microsoft Office, you can perform a repair install, making sure that PowerPoint is, in fact, installed. Unfortunately for some folks all that doesn't appear to work. Very well, we'll do things the hard way ... meaning we'll do it by hand. I'm going to assume you have successfully installed the free PowerPoint Viewer. Fire up Windows Explorer (right click on My Computer and click on Explore is one quick way). Click on the Tools menu and then the Folder Options item. In the resulting dialog, click on the File Types tab, and you should see something like this: Scroll down to the PPS entry, or where the PPS entry should be alphabetically. If you don't find a PPS entry, click the New button and enter PPS into the resulting dialog to create one. Click on the entry for PPS, and then click on the Advanced button. The result will look something like this: For the moment we'll ignore the entry that says "Print", and focus on the other - "Show". What seems to be unique about PowerPoint Viewer is that it doesn't use the word "Open", but rather "Show" as the action to perform. My theory is that that's the cause of much of the confusion. If "Show" doesn't exist in the list, click on New..., enter: &Show into the Action box, and then: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint Viewer\pptview.exe" "%1" "What seems to be unique about PowerPoint Viewer is that it doesn't use the word 'Open', but rather 'Show' as the action to perform."
