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.

Hi

Try this:

In OE - Tools>Options>Security - uncheck "Do not allow attachments to be saved...". Restart OE. If you do uncheck this option, please make sure that you virus check all attachments before you open them - including ones from people that you know.
