816071 2009-10-02 01:41:00 New HP desktop with XPP, SP3 - every part of Office XP works fine except being able to open attachments; if i double-click on a an attachment I get literally nothing at all, same for right-click==>open.

Edit: Just ran it in safe mode and everything works fine?

Any ideas?

816073 2009-10-02 01:49:00 Any AV? I've seen AVG's office plugin **** up and stop attachments from opening. wratterus (105)
816074 2009-10-02 01:53:00 Or worse. Nortons / Mcafee Speedy Gonzales (78)
816075 2009-10-02 01:54:00 @Speedy: Saving it doesn't work either; it just hangs for a few seconds and then asks me again if I want to open/save

@Wratt: Symantec Endpoint :waughh: - this is a pretty standard combination on our PC's though, so I'd be surprised if that was it. I've already uninstalled Office with Revo, and reinstall is still doing it.

Yup - disable the Outlook plug-in, and everything is ticketyboo - just have to find out why now!

Bloody Symantec :badpc:

Hope it's not too much drama to get sorted out. :thumbs:
