attachments won't download from hotmail in browser

[Nik]

Hi,

This just started happening recently. When trying to open
attachments in hotmail, i get stuck in a loop where
hotmail scans for viruses, says it's clean, I click
download and hotmail takes me to a hotmail sign in
screen...

I can get the atachments in Express just fine - so I can
work around - but I am mystified as to why Hotmail has me
chasing my tail all of a sudden.

Any light?

Thanks
Nik.

Check this setting just in case.

I lost the ability to open attachments

Open Outlook Express and from the Toolbar select:
Tools > Options > Security (tab) and uncheck:

"DO NOT ALLOW ATTACHMENTS TO BE SAVED
OR OPENED THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A VIRUS"
and click APPLY.
