Problems Reading PPS presentations

I have recently got this Laptop and get some emails with PPs for me to view.
I keep getting this error message which prevents me from seeing these presentations This file does not have a programme associated with it.
Please install a programme or, if one is already installed create an association? in the default programmes control??? (What does that mean??)
My OS is Windows 7
I run Office 2003
Can anyone point me in the right direction please
