Cannot open files

Some time ago I lost the ability to open attachments in IE8 for certain
types of files, mostly some jep files and all .pps file types. I also
cannot copy them. The only means of viewing them is to do a Save as from
IE8 and then they open just file.

I would appreciate any ideas that would restore the ability to open these
file from within IE8. I can do the work-around but that is a pain.

enter your "associations" problem into search at winhelponline.com
there's a similar problem with WInMail which winhelponline.com solved, and
it's th eonly place where I found rock-solid permanent solution.

As of IE8, no, mine is perfect, no problems, not sure why you broke
associations.
