What is a .pps file? I got it from a trusted friend and I can't play/view/read it on my system. And my friend's away on holidays. My system thinks it's a .jpg file but then can't open it.

Its a Powerpoint Presentation File
Needs Microsoft PowerPoint to read it Program might be on your Start Menu list?
If not read this posting (Has info on what the file contains and where it opens on the Program ):... links to a viewer Download so you can see what's in that file

It works well for just viewing and printing of the PowerPoint presentation but you are not able to edit it.

Neat! Thanks, guys, I downloaded, and saw the slides and they are amazing. If you want to see them, e-mail me (see my profile) and I'll forward them to you.

Boy!!! Did this help me.....

Had a CD sent to me with a PP download that didn't work....
