Since downloading the Microsoft Patch 1 for Windows XP it
has caused my Office Express to not allow any and all
attchements to be opened. All come up with statement
that "OE has eleminated the attchement. When one clicks
on the attachement the box appears allowing one to chose
the attchement or to download to disc etc. This now
shows up not in the usual bold lettering. My most recent
problem was from my office that sent in my appointments
for today. I had no problem receiving them until I
downloaded the patch. I checked 14 other emails and all
attachents could not be downloaded. Please advised a fix
for same. Thank you, Dick Heyde
