I used to save some emails as Outlook Message Format (.msg), and I never have
any problem opening them from Outlook 2003 SP2, on my old computer running
Windows 2000 Professional.
I can't open those saved msg files now on a laptop running Windows XP, from
Outlook 2003, even after I updated it to SP3. When I clicked on the msg file,
I saw the Outlook icon blink, but nothing happened. Please help.

I am having the same exact problem on my laptop. I can't open emails that I
have saved to a different location in the .msp format. I am also using
Outlook 2003 SP2.

Are you using Google Desktop Search? That's known to cause the symptom you
see.

Better use Microsoft Desktop Search.. This indexes msg files realy
good, much better than GDS.
And we have no problems opening one of my 30.000 msg files at all..
