206487 2004-01-10 05:19:00 Scouse, thats what i was thinking to..... another prog, that is needed to open the attachment, i have this problem i cannot open Power Point things as well.
i may not have explained it well enough earlier, but this is what i meant.

can you tell us how the attachment is shown ? txt or jpg or whatever?
(may have wrong file associations here sorry) or wrong idea completely...

save as something else to desk top and see if you can open it from there?

206490 2004-01-10 06:56:00 ZoneAlarm has quarantined the attachment Olldaddy.

Double-click on the attachment and ZA should pop up a box asking you if you wish to view the file (using notepad which won't run executables or other nasties) or save it to disk.

If in doubt, save the file to disk and scan it with your AV program. You won't know what the original file extension was unfortunately, but if it scans clean or you trust the sender you can then try opening it with a range of different programs. The title of the file may give you a clue as to the content.
