Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / March 2005

I'm running OS 9.2.2 and Outlook Express 5.0.6 on a G4 Power Mac. Since
installing a DSL modem in December, I haven't been able to open
attachments directly from OE like I could with dial-up. Attachment
icons are now blank and I get the following error messages: If it's a
Word attachment, I get "The application program <file name> could not
be opened, because it might be damaged or not work on this type of
computer." If it's a PDF or JPG, I get "The document <file name> could
not be opened, because the application program that created it could
not be found."
Late one night, while trying to "fix" this problem, I found a set of
preferences for attachments, but I can't remember what application it
was in or how I found it. And Earthlink says this is a Microsoft
problem.
Any ideas?
