IE 6 updated outlook - can not open attachments

K

We have just downloaded Internet Explorer 6 and it updated
Outlook to 6 as well which is great but now every email we
receive we can not open the attachments. It is saying
that Outlook Express removed access to this attachment
(possible virus). Has anyone else had this problem and if
so how did you fix it. Thanks

No, you have updated Outlook EXPRESS - although it has a similar name, the
two are totally different.

1. have you read the Help-Readme file that came with your new update?
2. have you done a Google search? The current number of hits is about
6,500+, depending on your search string.
3. You could always go to Tools-Options-Security and review the settings.

BTW, this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003(beta) from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
