Your registry cleaner probably deleted the pps association with your 
browser. So reinstalling the pps viewer won't help--you'd need to reinstall 
your browser or reset its options to play pps files. I think you mentioned 
Firefox at one stage. You might find that pps is an optional firefox plugin 
which you'd need to reinstall.

Try the new Google Chrome browser. It's free on the Google page and very 
impressive. I never liked Firefox at all, tried it for a short time but 
found it a bit buggy and not all that user-friendly.

After using Maxthon for many years, I've now made Chrome my default 
browser. It really is very fast in all respects and I'm very impressed, 
especially by its security features (warns you about any dubious websites 
and absolutely bars bad ones). By fast I mean it opens almost instantly and 
gets new links almost like they were on your own computer. And I don't even 
have particularly fast broadband. I timed it just now. From completely 
closed, it opened and loaded Google Search page in less than 1 second.

I tried your link and Chrome downloaded the file into its downloads page 
automatically, from where I could play it (great fotos, nice music). Took 
about 10 seconds to download.

You have snow---we have bushfires. Wanna swap? Berlin looks deliciously 
cool---it's hot n humid sticky here right now. I'd give anything for a bit 
of surplus snow.
