i cant open attachments on e mails

In addition to the info TAJ posted...

Save the file to your harddrive, then double-click to open it. Some of the
service packs block PPT attachments from opening in the PPT Viewer.

It could also be an issue of them sending you a PPT 2007 file, but you only
have PPT 2003 or earlier installed. In that case, there's a compatibility
pack you can install so you can open PPT 2007 file formats with PPT 2002 or
2003. You must also install all critical Windows updates before the compat
pack will work.

Here's a shorter link for that, just in case. http://tinyurl.com/y5a879

Or you can download and install the PPT 2007 Viewer, which includes the
compatibility pack (so you still need all the Windows updates) and will open
PPT 2007 file formats.

biba,

Maybe your email software is blocking all attachments.

If you are using outlook express see

tools menu > options > security > UNTICK 'do not allow attachments'

If you can open attachments but your computer does not know what to do with
a powerpoint file

then you need a free powerpoint viewer
