Outlook Express Security - Snap Shot Viewer

B

Bob Higgins

I had posted a message, but evidently it didn't post. I
have XP Home Edition Professional on a laptop that
evidently has an upgraded Internet Explorer that does not
allow a download of Outlook Express 6.

It states that the Internet Explorer I now have in my
machine it is a newer upgrade to Internet Explorer that
contains Outlook Express 6 (which used to allow me to go
to "Tools" "Options", and then the "Security" tab and
remove the check mark). Therefore, because it is newer,
it will not allow the download of the Internet Explorer
that contains Outlook Express 6.

Because of this, I cannot have the Outlook Express Option
Express Option in the Security Tab that allows me to
remove the check mark that prevent the ability of OE to
open the attachments.

I had been able to download Access Snap Shot Viewer to
open documents I received from my employer sent to me e-
mail in Access and then able to view and print the
documents sent to me via e-mail to work with.

I have lost the ability to receive Snap Shot Viewer
Documents. How may I obtain Express 6? My wife has
Windows XP, but due to the Older Version of Internet
Explorer, she was able to upgrade to Express 6 awhile
ago, obtain the ability to have the option in
the "Security Tab" to be able to remove the check mark
that prevented attachments to be open. Because of my
inability to open the attachments, I can't open the "Snap
Shot Viewer on the document send ability she had. I can't
open due to my "block" in the newrer version of Internet
Explorer.

I need help from someone soon...
