| 90766 | 2002-10-19 04:20:00 | When I receive an attachment and I try to open it on the paperclip or save it, nothing happens. It looks more like a sample what you can't use and it is also quite light in colour(greyish) Has anybody any idea what to do about it. I have windows 98 SE. This is only happening lately. Haven't got a clue why. Appreciate your reply. |

| 90768 | 2002-10-19 04:47:00 | Johanna, If you are using Outlook Express as you mail program then it is probably because the Security of OE is set to NOT allow opening of attachments that may be virii. To check this in OE goto TOOLS | OPTIONS | SECURITY and see if their is a check mark in the box " Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus". If you WANT/NEED to open that attachment and you are SURE it is a valid attachment from someone that you personally know then you could uncheck that box and open the attachment. Reset the security when you have finished and before you close OE. Cheers, Babe. |
