I recently bought a HP Pavilion dv9623cl notebook with Vista Home Premium as
the operating system. The email program was Windows Mail which lacks the functionality of Outlook so I reinstalled my copy of Office 2003 Pro with Outlook on the new machine. Setup went well with one exception, forwarded email. I can't open email that has been forwarded as an attachment. I tried saving the attachment and opening it with Outlook (the attachment was a .msg file) but it keeps trying to default to Windows Mail and won't open with Outlook. Can someone help save the little hair I have left? I would appreciate any suggestions. |

For those of you who may experience the same problem it turned out to be
Google Desktop. Once it was removed, everything worked great. "neofight4u" wrote: Thanks for trying to help but it didn't work.
