In OE click Tools, Options and then the Security tab. Uncheck the box that
states "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened......".

If you are sure the attachement is safe...
Goto Tools, Options
Then goto the Security tab
Uncheck "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could
potentially be a virus"

If you change extension of the name of the file this will
extension to use is zip. for example myfile.zip. Save the
file and change the attachment name to what it should be,
such as myfile.exe. The sender will have to send the file
or attachment as myfile.zip.
The removal of attachments is the result of so many
viruses and manufactures and service providers are taking
action.

Starting with SP1, Outlook Express does this by default, for any
file type which *can* contain a virus. It's not a virus checker,
doesn't actually check the attachments, and this doesn't mean
that there actually is a virus there.
Such attachments *are* very risky. You often see advice not to
open attachments from people you don't know. I think that that's
one of the most dangerous pieces of advice you see around,
because it implies that it's safe to do the opposite--open
attachments from friends and relatives. But many viruses spread
by sending themselves to everyone in the infected party's address
book, so attachments received from friends are perhaps the *most*
risky to open.
Personally I never open executable attachments at all, except
from a *very* few trusted sources, and then only when I'm
expecting them. But if you want to remove this safeguard, it's
easy to do so: go to Tools | Options, and on the security tab,
uncheck "Do not allow attachments..."

Just to build on, I always do a back up of my key data before opening any
email attachment. [Of course, as Ken mentions, if I was expecting a
specific file from a specific person, I'd probably not worry about it -
providing I trusted the other person and knew they had used the file]

Hey, you waited a whole 14 minutes before irritating everybody with
your second whine for help. Impatience isn't usually dealt with very
well here. YELLING your request in the subject line doesn't add much
sympathy either.
I'll repeat my first advice: go to a newsgroup that deals with OE.
This one is for the XP OS. Bye bye now.
