What types of attachments specifically are you having problems with?

See the Identifying Attachment File Types and Setting File Associations
section of
Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial

OE uses the OPEN action from the Windows File Associations. When you
double click a saved file from the Windows File Explorer, it uses the
default action which may be different from OPEN.

Recently attachments, other than jpg will not open. They always have
opened
before so I suspect the culprit to be new download/or update of a
Microsoft
product or Norton Internet Security. I can open jpg attachments.
Other
attachments, when I try to open, the "mail attachment" box appears,
and when
I click on "open" nothing happens. I can however, save the attachment
to My
Documents and it will then open. but it will not open when I am in OE.
The
box is unchecked in OE that says not to open any harmful attachment.
Thanks
for your help.
