Can't save Excel file??

HI all

I am running Outlook XP on WinXP SP1, When i tried to save a Excel
attachment, it shows a error message "Cannot save the attachment. Can't
create file: abc.xls. Right-click the folder you want to create file in, and
then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the
folder." It doesn't work even i tried to save on the desktop. However, it
only happened recently and it only happen to certain excel attachments from
the old emails. I don't have problem with the new email with excel
attachment, i can save them no problem. I am sure those old one are not
corrupted because i can open them,read them and i can forward them to some
other people and they open them fine.

Also, all other files format are fine, can save them without another problem.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Roy,
maybe you try this
START | RUN | excel.exe /regsvr
After This close Excel and try it again
