Default Cannot open attachments on any emails

I cannot open any attachments that come with my emails.

Most of the attachments are in Microsoft word. I have tried to save them to
my desktop and then open and have not been able to open them even after
that.

Thanks for any assistance
Joyce

What happens when you try to open them? Any error message.

Since you can save them from Outlook Express, it's not likely an OE
setting that is the issue.

Since you've installed XP SP2, then see:
Description of how the Attachment Manager works in Windows XP Service
Pack 2
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=883260

Also see the Identifying Attachment File Types and Setting File
Associations section of
