| 124134 | 2003-02-26 07:59:00 | I am lost for a direction. Operating sys. Win XP-Home ISP is xtra System Security has been lowered to "Medium" Problem is when receiving e-mail attachments eg Word Doc or excel attachments, they are deleted Automatically before they are read. Picture attachments in JPG. or EPS format are abe to be opened OK. Any suggestions will be welcome. Please note that my other computer uses Win XP-Pro and uses MS outlook,with no problems at all. Regards Don |

If there is a tick in the box "Do not allow attachements to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" remove the tick and click OK. Remember to take the usual virus precautions before opening. |

| 124142 | 2003-02-26 18:39:00 | The Outlook E-Mail Security Update (included in Office 2000 Service Pack 2) and Outlook 2002 block access to .exe, .com and other "dangerous" files. You cannot open these files from Outlook, nor can you use Outlook to save them to your system. If you try to forward a message containing an .exe file, Outlook does not include the attachment in the forwarded message. If you are not getting many of these you can import them into Outlook Express and open them from here. Otherwise you will need to edit the registry or use one of the tools available from this site Here (www.slipstick.com) to allow Outlook to open selected attachments. |
