A "new PC". XO or Vista?

If XP:

Description of how the Attachment Manager works in Windows XP Service Pack2:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=883260

If that does not help, what it the file extension of the attachments? If
they are indeed Word attachments:

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works. (Word?), and then check the
box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable
you to open these attachments in the future.

Friend just contaced me with this problem...........

"I have a new PC. I have problems with emails with attachments, I notice
it
with word, it may happen to others but most attachments I get are word.
My
system does not seem to recognise them as word attachments, I suspect it’s
just a security setting somewhere but cannot find it"

Can anyone help ???
