pps extension

I have newly installed Home and Student 2007 that includes PowerPoint and
also have PowerPoint Viewer on a 64 bit Vista system, but still can't open
a file with a .pps extension. Message says no association and to check
that. I did and it appears on the association list.

I've tried everything I could find and have had no success getting it to
open.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

According to that this won't happen if you have PowerPoint 2007 installed.
I do have PowerPoint 2007 installed and it still won't open and I still get
the same error message.

thanks. This worked for one but not the other. The failure said something
about it not being a win32 file????

Now if I could only get one to open directly and not have to go through the
desktop I would be much more satisfied with this system.

I already did uninstall and reinstall office. That made no difference.
