OL 2003 and problem with zip files

[Pheasant Plucker®]

We have a problem on our office PC that has started since yesterday.

We receive .zip archives as a mail attachment but the last three we have
received will not open or save.

We have gone back to known good zip archives which have opened previously
from Mon/Tue this week & earlier and those now won't open on the same PC.

We have forwarded the email to another PC and this can open/save the .zip
archive as expected.

In addition the Subject line has mysteriously disappeared from within
Outlook but we have now got that back.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the problem with Outlook
2003 please?

Many thanks for the quick reply Kathleen,

That sounds exactly what it might be...I was thinking along the lines of an
MS update altering security settings etc. etc.

I downloaded the excellent little program Outlook Tools and cleaned out the
temporary folder.

I can now open those problem .zip files.

Excellent...thank you.

Thanks & kind regards,
