Can't opeen attacments !!

[Isaac Gutman M.D.]

Hi all.
All of a sudden, working with Outlook Express - when I try to open
attachment (Power Point, Word documents, etc). It tells me that Windows
decided that it has a possible harmful content and will not let me open it
or save it.
Also, when I try to open the 'internet options' from the tools' drop down
menu, it tells me that the "Operation was cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer" and tells me to contact the administrator - but I
am the administrator !!!
Your help will be GREATLY appreciated,
TIA,
Isaac

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:

That error means you need to reset IE's web settings. IE's tools, options,
advanced tab...
