Critical Update Issues
I downloaded the critical updates packages this weekend
and one of them was something to do with OE. Everything went well until I began receiving email with the attachments. While I was once able to open them they now arrive and open with either wordpad or notepad and are for the most part gibberish. First I did a restore which resolved the problem but screwed up the NAV royally and then I got the bright idea to just uninstall the one troublesome update but that also has not resolved the problem of opening attachments as they once opened. Any easy suggestions? Thanks |

Critical Update Issues
Betsey
First - reinstall the patches!! then open OE, and go to Tools|Options|Security. You'll see a checkbox 'Do not allow....' - it's this one which controls you ability to open attachments. NOTE: if you turn this switch off, make sure that you scan ALL files downloaded with at least one Anti-virus program before opening!!! - and use the Save option rather than the Open option -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Betsey" wrote in message ...
