OE6 and PPS files-sound

The problem with viewing PPS files in OE6 was resolved by copying them to
hard drive. However, I can no get sound on my PPS files. Anyone have any
suggestions or could it have been caused with a windows update ? I have
tried everything.

Thanks

And what if you actually open them in OE?

1: Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works, (PowerPoint Viewer). and then
check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This
should enable you to open these attachments in the future.

2: Unable to open .PPS attachments directly from Outlook Express using
XP/SP2 or XP/SP3:

Thanks Bruce:

I don't have a problem with opening the files after saving them to my HHD.
They open fine with PPT viewer. It's the sound that is now missing.

Thanks again

I understand. I wanted to see if the sound was still there before they were
saved. There is no reason you should have to save them first to open them,
but if you would rather do that, it's your prerogative.

Do you have the speaker icon in the SysTray? Double click on it. Any of the
volume sliders all the way down?

Thanks again Bruce:

Everything else plays with no problem, just the pps files don't play.
Someone mentioned that it may be copyright laws with some of the music that
is attached to the files. Could that be possible ?

Thanks again for your time.

Here is one link to YouTube that I have been able to play for over two years
now and all of a sudden there is no sound.
YouTube - Merry Christmas from (mf)

Example of a PPS file. Found on the internet "thesimplelife.pps" great
slide show and the sound was beautiful, but can no longer play it.



I know you are busy so if and when you have time to take a look.



Thanks

Is this the one you speak of?

There is no sound. It is a You Tube issue.

Go here and download this.
http://files.filefront.com/Thesimple.../fileinfo.html

Choose Save and save it to the Desktop. Does it play for you? If so, you
have no issue with PPS files. It is just the ones you have that are no good.

The ones you sent me play fine here.

Did you actually check the 5 volume sliders in your speaker settings? If one
is off, some sounds will play fine, but not others.

You may also have a sound program. I have Creative Sound Blaster. That has
settings of its own. Check that out.

It is definitely not an issue with Outlook Express though since the one I
sent you did not have sound. You may want to pursue this in the XP newsgroup
if your volume settings are OK.
