Can't open email attachments from Word/Exel

[Lucretia Sims]

Since I upgraded from Windows 98 to XP, I have been
unable to open email attachments from word or excel.
What do I need to do so I can open attachments?

Thanks.

1. Start Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Click the Security tab, click to clear the "Do not allow attachments to be
saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" check box under
Virus Protection, and then click OK.
