I have recently not been able to open outlook .msg file attachments. I
suspect some sort of security update killed the capacity to do this. If I
click on the attachment and try to open it, the dialog box goes away and the
message attachment doesn't open. I have poked around in the KB, but don't
see any sort of fix for this.

Have you tried deleting frmcache.dat file?

Either uninstall Google Desktop search or disable its indexing of Outlook files.

I just tried that and it doesn't fix the problem.

Milly,

I tried that with no success. Do I have to delete the Google Desktop index
files to make it work?

Thanks,
EG
