I recently installed the up[dated version of McAfee Security and did a
complete scan. Since then I cannot open any attachment in Outlook Express
nor download any file.

Is there some setting in Windows that could have been changed that would
cause this?

Marv,

Reread the above. It's McAfee, not Windows causing the issue.
Get it ?

" I tried to fill my car up with diesel fuel, although it's a gas
engine "
Is that the gas station's fault or is it your's for filling the car with
the WRONG fuel ?

Outlook: under tools/options/security/uncheck don't allow attachment to be
opened. There's also an option in IE not to allow downloads/

Jim, I had done that. The problem is that the "allow attachments" box is
checked but itis grayed out so I cannot change it.

I also used Regedit to look at the value for the "Safe Attachments" in the
registry. It is zero as I was told is the correct value.

Thanks for the input.

Marv

Maybe you can use your own advice and not call people names?
