I keep getting emails with .pps files attatched to them? What sort of software do I need to view these types of files? Any help would be appriciated! Thanks.

Microsoft power point. You need that microsofts dirt or open source stuff depending on what your OS is.

I thought powerpoint files were .ppt ?

Both apparently.

Well then I guess I am SOL.

.pps files are Power Point "Shows", not the full (and editable) presentations.

BUT BE AWARE!!! They also can contain viruses, trojans and other nasties.

As with all attachments, unless you are 100% certain of its origin and safety, do NOT open them.

You can download a powerpoint player from MS so you don't have to have the full version.
