    I recently repaced my pc and now I cannot open or save attachments in Outlook Express 6. The "Attachment and Save" buttons are greyed out.
    I went to the Folder file in Control panel and have tried associating the .wmv files with WMV files with Window Media Player, WinAmp and Real Player all without opening the file or getting past the "greyed out" in the attachments.

    Anyone any ideas ? Appreciated :confused:

    As this is a new PC no doubt many settings are default .....

    OE > Tools > Options > Security and uncheck 'Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened ....'

    You're welcome :) That default setting catches a lot of folk out.
