Leo,
My Outlook 2003 locks up whenever I try to open an email that contains any type of attachment. My wife has a seperate account and we are both listed as administrators. She has no problems in this regards, but mine locks up and I have to use the task manager to stop it and restart Outlook but it still does the same thing. It blows my mind as I am pretty savvy with computers and can't figure this one out.

Thanks!

I cant open attachment straight on outlook express, but i must first save them to some folder when i can open attachments.

What setting i wrong ???

Leo, setting Level1Remove only allows the attachment to come through, but still forces me to save it to disk to open. How can I force Outlook 2003 to allow me to open the Attachment INSIDE the email itself?

Leo,

I run Outlook for MS Vista. Beforehand, I wasn't having any problems sending and recieving attachemnts.

For some reason, no one can open my attachments. I've checked to ensure my mail set-up and attachments are in HTML, but it's still not working. It only works if I change the settings to Plain text.

Please help, as I need my Outlook to send/recieve in HTML for my business!!!

Cheers,

Pern

Why can't I open .doc and other email attachements? pdf attachment I can open and thats it. Could AVG virus detector be blocking access? I am using Outlook Express and do have this feature unchecked so that I can get access but still can't open any attachments.
