Outlook wont open PDF attachment

Guest

Am using Office 2003 and up till now has been working like a good 'un.

For some reason just out of the blue whenever I try and open PDF file
attachments through Outlook it comes up with a message saying "Can't create
file: Incoming.pdf. Right-Click the folder you want to create the file in,
and then click properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for
the folder"

After this started happening I went to the Office update site and tried to
install SP2 via that site but for some reason that kept failing, in the end
downloaded the service pack from another site and installed that okay but
still outlook is being a pig.

This problem applies to just PDF file, all other types of files .txt'x,
..doc's etc are all opening fine and save equally as well.

I have tried searching this on google and so far have found nothing, any
idea's anyone?

Cheers in advance!

Adobe acrobat is working fine, initially i figured the problem may lie with
acrobat so as well as testing it i also stripped off version 6 and installed
version 7, again that works fine and opens any PDF's thrown at it.
