You do have another alternative. Go to www.openoffice.org and download their FREE programs. They have programs that are compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel & Power Point.
The advantage of using the open office program is that it will allow you to make changes to the Power Point presentations that you receive. The Power Point Viewer will not allow you to make or save any changes.
It's worth your time to check out the openoffice website.

Sounds like you don't have Powerpoint. There is something called the Powerpoint viewer -- a small program from MS that will let you view PPT files but not open or edit them.

You are not on your own I have the same problem, & have downloaded from Microsoft online "Install and run Powerpoint Viewer 2003" with instructions, then you have to go into control panel-tools-folder options and add the extension .pps to the list,then say which programme you want to open all attachments with .PPS ext. which I did but I still cant open anything with this ext. Look forward to someones' answer good luckI

Download and install power point viewer before open the powerpoint file.
here is the site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=428D5727-43AB-4F24-90B7-A94784AF71A4&displaylang=en
if the site above doesn't work, go to google and type in "Powerpoint Viewer". and click the site to download!
