| 794303 | 2009-07-23 00:13:00 | I received an email from overseas which is a powerpoint slideshow. It contains at least some music which windows media player let me play but I cannot access the paintings of Goya which are on it accompanied by the music. Could it have been sent in a faulty way? Thanks Frank |

| 794305 | 2009-07-23 01:47:00 | Yers, I have PowerPoint Viewer and PowerPoint installed | vdv81 (15114) | ||
| 794306 | 2009-07-23 02:06:00 | When you click on the slideshow file, does the preview of the content show at all? or is it just the music that plays? | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 794307 | 2009-07-24 05:08:00 | Hi Ronyville, I can't see any preview of the contents. Cheers, Frank |

| 794308 | 2009-07-24 05:40:00 | Redownload it and try again I have found that for some reason Powerpoint attachments often arrive faulty and need to be redownloaded or Forward to another of your eMail addresses and then download again, always works in the end for me. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 794309 | 2009-07-24 07:20:00 | Also made sure it is .pps or .ppt, if not try adding whatever you see on the attachment before you down load it, sometimes mine arrive with no type even though it is clearly visible at the eMail attachment site. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 794310 | 2009-07-24 07:57:00 | I was having the same problem trying to view powerpoint attachments in outlookexpress and was finally able to fix it. This is what worked for me: Make sure you have the microsoft powerpoint viewer installed Press Start->run - then type control folders- In the folder options box select file types and then scroll to pps (microsoft powerpoint slideshow) Select "new" then in the action box type - Open. In the Application used to perform this action type the path to your pptview file or select browse to find it In my case this is what I had to type in - Please note the quotation marks are very important. Type exactly as shown: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint Viewer\pptview.exe" "%1" Make sure use DDE is unchecked and then press O.K. and O.K. again Should now work if this was the same problem you were having.
