Outlook WIN32

[bradydog12]

I have been going round and round with HP. No Luck...Does anyone know why all
of a sudden my email, attachments are all coming in as PDF's? Problem cannot
open any attachments unless I save to desktop and open with internet.

ERROR SCREENSHOT In a Microsoft Office Outlook box when I click on any
attachment i get "%1 IS NOT VALID WIN32 APPLICATION" .

This is new as I had HP replace my hard drive and key board and has not
worked sense. Other than sending back does anyone have any ideas? I have
uninstalled and reinstalled all Micro soft and Adobe also? Thank you for your
help

Opening attachments with their configured application is done by Windows and
not Outlook. Posting your question in a newsgroup for your version of
Windows would be better for follow up.

Which version of Windows are you using?
Assuming Windows Vista;
Start-> Default Programs-> Associate file type or protocol with a program

Here, select the file type extension for the attachment that you have
received (for instance .doc for Word files) and change the program to open
it with to Word.

In Windows XP you can do this in a similar way via Control Panel-> Folder
Options-> tab File Types
