Attachments & other

[Guest]

Background: I added,then removed Office 97. While on an internet site, if I choose to send that page by e-mail (file, send, page or a link) the following message is shown: "Choose Profile" the block has "Microsoft Outlook" as the profile name, and there is not an option to change it to Outlook Express. If I type in Outlook Express anyway the message is "The profile name is not valid". I also am unable to open ANY e-mail attachment. Message "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your e-mail". Hope someone has the technical ability to help. Thanks in advance.

You need to make Outlook Express your default email program. Open OE and Select Tools/Options/General tab. Click the 2 default buttons at the bottom of that dialog box.

Close OE and open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools/Internet Options/Programs tab. In the Email line, select Outlook Express as the default.
