Hi - I'm computer useless. For some reason Outlook won't
let me open my attachments. I get a message saying:

OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in
your mail.

I know they are safe because half of them I have sent to
myself, others are work related. Why is this suddenly
happening and what do I do?

I urgently need to open some of this stuff - can someone
email me some help.
thank you
Jaynie
 
Hi Jaynie,

I could be wrong but it sounds like you have Outlook 2000
with SP2 for Office 2000. If this is the case the
secuirty update automatically blocks a number of
attachment types.

You can get around this though. Check the article below
for more information on how to do that

If you have Outlook 2000 with SP3 or Outlook 2002 or 2003
see the below article for a registry change which will
give you access to those blocked attachments.

Hope that helps
