I cant open a lot of attachments to e-mails from people what I previously had been able to open. What happened?
If Outlook Express denies you access to an attachment, your Security settings have been changed (possibly from installing the Internet Explorer service pack). Open Outlook Express. On the menu bar, click Tools and select Options. Click the Security tab and remove the check mark from the check box next to, Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus. If you would rather not change this setting, you can work around it by doing the following. When you receive an e-mail with an attachment you can not access, click the Forward button. The e-mail message will open in a new window and you should be able to open the attachment. If you choose to disable the Outlook Express security feature, you open your computer to a virus attack. To avoid this you must have an antivirus program installed and you must update the virus definitions every time you start your computer.
