Outlokk question

For about the past couple of weeks I have not been able to open attachments inside of Outlook 2000. I know that some attachments can mean trouble and previously if I received an e-mail from someone I did n't know or trust I would just delete it. I have attempted to go into Outlook to "repair" bad files, create a new or restore a backup *.pst file. I have run several virus checkers or cleaners but still when ever I receive an e-mail with an attachment I click on the attachment and I get redirected to "SCANPST". Is there anywhere to check settings for Outlook 2000? I run XP home, internet explorer 9. Thank you in advance Dennis48187

Hi,
Microsoft's "Outlook" blocks attachments which are considered capable of "being unsafe"

If you go here:

you will find the official view from Microsoft, that hopefully will enable you to configure the settings to meet your needs.

Thank you for the quick solution. I tried that solution last week with no luck. I do not receive any error messages when I select to open the attachment, I am just redirected to the scanpst application.

Hi,
Have you tried the scanpst repair?
