Your anti-virus or other security software has installed a replacement for
the default action of opening an attachment. By saving the attachment to the desktop the file is scanned for problems. You should double-click the desktop icon to look at the file, then delete the icon when you have finished. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "tina SPEILBERG" wrote in message om...

Having problems wirh MS Word, Excel, PDF file etc
Hi
If i get a Word attachment via my comcast email directly to my Outlook Express I can open the attachment. However when it comes thru Yahoo, Hotmail etc I cannot open it. I have to forward the email ( from Yahoo, hotmail etc) to my comcast email account which drops into my Outlook express, then and only then can I open it. ( and the attachment then becomes an icon on my desktop) It used to work fine till a few weeks ago. Can any one pls help me ? Thanks Tina "Jeff Richards" wrote in message ...

You should contact Yahoo, Hotmail etc about this problem, as they each have
their own private way of dealing with attachments. As these are both web mail services, the problem is probably associated with the security settings in your web browser not matching the settings that these services require in order to be able to send the attachment to you. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "tina SPEILBERG" wrote in message om...
