Hi All,

I am using windows xp home sr3 and outlook 2003. A friend sent me an
attachment but, I can't open it. Outlook says to check security
settings.
What settings do I need to change so I can open this attachment? Any
help
is most appreciated. thanks,


It's highly unlikely that this has anything to do with settings. To
open an attachment, you need to have installed an appropriate program
for it--either the same program that created the file or one
compatible with it. It's highly likely that you don't have an
appropriate program to open it.

So what type of file is the attachment? Tell us its extension--the
last three or four characters in the file name, after the dot.
