    Made Office 2003 regedit changes per website listed to no avail. Still no opening PPS attachments in WLM Windows 7. Windows 7 updates current as of this day 6-10-2012. What must be done to make this happen? Thank you. -wm

    A friend who just bought a new Win 7 laptop has this problem. The registry edits described above do not work. In addition, I don’t know why this article talks about Office 2003 and 2007. The reason a person has PowerPoint Viewer on their computer is because they don’t have PowerPoint, which is part of Office. And this friend does not have Office on her computer. So why would one have to change the registry for programs that don’t exist on the computer?

    Please try this:
    Go to:
    Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations

    Navigate to .pps extension and click ‘Change Program’
    Now, browse to the Power Point Viewer .exe file and select it.
    Let me know if it helps.

    Did that after first trying Change Program and selecting the same (one and only) icon that was there. Then tried browsing the the .exe file and selecting that. Same result; nothing changed.
