Microsoft restore, it won't work. I'm not running any add-ons. I'm not too

working trial of True Image.)

Are you using any add-ins? What type of acct? We know not all SP3 users have
a problem opening msg files while a few are having a problem. I haven't been
tracking the OS for every report, but I know it works ok on Winxp, so its
possible that its specific to Vista.

I'm having the same problem only since having dowloaded service pack 3,
I'm
running Vista on my laptop. I have not installed service pack 3 on my
desktop
and have no problems opening attachments on it. Does anyone know how to
remove service pack 3? It does not appear in add/remove programs and when
checking for all updates does not have a remove option available.

I updated my Outlook 2003 with current service pack and afterwards, when
I am
trying to open e-mail messages that are sent as attachments, I cannot do
it.
Other type of files in attachment can be opened but not message files.
What
could this be?
