Default Security Level

A friend is running Win XP and OE6 for e mail. She could not open a .pps file
so I
downloaded and installed a pps file viewer. Now, when she tried to open the
file
attachment with the .pps extension, she get a message that her security
level does
not allow her to open the message. How do I lower her security controls in
OE6?
Thanks

The only settings in OE are in Tools | Options | Security. A firewall
setting perhaps?

If you just downloaded PowerPoint Viewer, this little fix will most likely
be necessary, but it isn't security related.

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

OE isn't involved in opening the .pps file. That's why you had to get the
viewer app. Perhaps the author of that .pps file decided to add a password
to protect it. Have her ask the sender if they password protected the .pps
file. I have Powerpoint so there is no point in installing the viewer, so I
don't know if perhapst the viewer won't prompt for the password.

You never mentioned from WHERE you obtained the vaguely described "pps file
viewer" application. Was it Microsoft's PowerPoint Viewer 2007?
