453812 2006-05-10 10:50:00 One of my mates on MSN sent me a file yesterday, but when I went to open it a message something like "Windows has blocked access to this file because it is harmful" or words to that effect. Now I know this file wasn't 'harmful' or malicious in any way, it was simply an mp3 of some piano music.

How do i gain access to this file, bearing in mind it was an 8mb file and therefor took ages for it to transfer.

Its a security feature in SP2 I think.

453815 2006-05-10 11:14:00 Get them to send it again, only, don't open it in msn.. go to your recieved files and do the right click thing like Speedy said. I think I did that a while ago. jermsie (6820)
453816 2006-05-10 11:23:00 Hmm there's another post (forums.pcworld.co.nz) here with the same prob.

Some forums, say its SP2, or its the version of MSN thats installed. Thats got the block option in its prefs/options.
