I have outlook 2007 and cannot open or preview outlook attachments. I can
open other attachments.
Also, the same reminders continue to pop up over and over, even after I
"delete all" How do I get rid of those?

Outlook version is ALWAYS in play, PLEASE!!!!!

1. Do you have Google Desktop Search installed? If yes, either disable indexing Outlook files or uninstall it (my preferred option)

2. Start->run->outlook.exe /cleanreminders

Soon after the Melissa and I Love You virus attacks were launched in 1999,
Microsoft developed new security procedures for Outlook. There are two main
components of these new security features: attachment blocking and an object
model guard. If you receive an email with an attachment that's blocked by the
new security features, you'll see a message in the InfoBar telling you the
name of the blocked attachment.

By default, Outlook 2003 blocks 52 types of attachments.
