Since updated to WinXP I cannot open any attachments sent
to me. I get an error message as follows:
OE removed access to the following unsafe
attachments in your mail.

I get this message, EVEN WHEN IT'S MY OWN ATTACHMENT.
How do I solve this?

Sylvia;
Outlook Express:
Open Outlook Express.
Click Tools, click Options, click Security tab.
Uncheck "Do not allow attachments..."

This change that Microsoft implemented is to help prevent viruses and
other bad code being received with attachments.
It is ALWAYS a bad to open an unexpected attachment.
Verify the sender sent the attachment before opening.

Microsoft NEVER sends Email with attachments.

It is very important to keep your antivirus updated and run it at
least weekly.
