Won't Open Files
Recently my Outlook stopped opening files that are
attached to emails. I get the error message that "the system cannot find the specified file", (and it DOES open the application (like excel, word, etc.)). If I open the email, and "save" the file, I can then open it, but it is not allowing me to simply click on the file from Outlook to open it. |
