Joe, the file you received is one created in MS PowerPoint (not PaintShop). The extension is the abbreviation for "power point slideshow". Microsoft have a free viewer for this type of file, enabling you to see the show. You can download it from their site at: http://tinyurl.com/3nend Incidentally, they also have one for MS Excel files (.xls) too which may be handy to have if you don't have that program: http://tinyurl.com/5mttk Lance P.

This image had the extension 'PPS' which I asume is 'Paint Shop Pro' a programme that I dont have. How do I get to see this particular image?. I add that I use MGI Photosuite 4 which gives me no trouble.and I note when I try to 'change' to 'open with another programme' that MGI Photosuite 4 is not included in the choices. Any thoughts? Joe

Sorry Lance I should have written 'PSP'. I have downloaded both downloads which you suggested but no luck. Sorry about that. Any thoughts as to what I should do now?

That's ok, Joe - typing errors are something I do too :-). If you have IrfanView installed you should be able to view that file. If you haven't got it, you can download it (free) from: http://www.irfanview.com/ It handles most popular file extensions (and is a great little program as it opens quickly). Lance P. S.
