My Power Point Viewer 2003 will not open slideshow files (.PPS)

[Hawkster]

What change do I need to make to have my 2003 Power Point Viewer open a Power
oint slide show? It did before I downloaded SP2. Would appreciate help on
this.

Hi Hawkster,

What happens if you try to unistall and then reinstall 2003 PPT Viewer
(after your download of SP2?)

Thanks -- I uninstalled and reinstalled the 2003 viewer as you suggested --
same result -- any other suggestions for me?

You may need to re set what program opens the presentation. You can do this
by right clicking on your pps presentation, select properties, and make sure
the opens with points to the PowerPoint viewer.

I do not have the PP application on my computer, only the viewer. The file
was an email attachment and when I right click there is no properties option.
Do you know if there is another way to solve this problem?

Appreciate the help!

Save the attached ppt/pps file to a folder or to your desk top. Then right
click on the ppt/pps file and select properties

Ah. That's a big (huge, actually) piece of the puzzle.

I am having the same problem, I do however have Office 2007 installed,
properties is set to show with ppt viewer. When I select show with ppt
viewer, I get the graphics, photos but not words. This is very strange.
