i downloaded a critical program with windows update for
2000 and now i cant open my emails with attachments. how
can i fix this
 
I hope you downloaded this from the Microsoft Windows Update website and not an email
attachment because a lot of the emails claiming to be from MS are viruses.

Assuming you did not, see the link below on how to change security options in OE.
There was an update that caused this behavior due to the incredible number of
worms/viruses that are being spread via email attachments often appearing to come
from trusted sources such as work or friends. Be sure that you are using a quality
antivirus program that scans all of your emails before changing the setting and
update the virus definitions often or automatically if possible. You can also select
forward on that email and open the attachment without actually forwarding the email
to anyone.
