Can't Open Attachments in Outlook 2007/Vista

[Bear]

I can't open any attachments from Outlook 2007 on Vista. I can preview, but
not open. I can't right click and "Save As" either. I recently installed a
service pack 1 and the problem disappeared for a day, and just returned. Any
ideas what could be causing this?

Have you tried running scanpst.exe against your .pst file? Done a Detect
and Repair?

I am having the same problem. I tried dowloadint Foxit Reader, but when i
right click in the preview pane on the attachment, i still get the message
"This file cannot be previewed. Try openeing the file in the program in
which it was created". I am not sure why Foxit won't open. Any other
suggestions?
