saving attachemnts out of OE after IE8 install

after installing IE8, I can no longer drag attachements out of oulook express
emails onto my desktop or any other drive on my PC. I get the following
message "Cannont copy file: Cannot read from the source file or disk"

Right clicking the attachment and choosing "save as.." or "save all" works
fine, but is time consuming....

Uninstalling IE8 back to IE7 fixes the problem

[crosspost to IE General]

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) when posting to
this newsgroup.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed and/or uninstalled IE8?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

Just asking for now!! Do NOT use such a Restore Point yet!! = Do you have
an available Restore Point which predates the install of IE8?

oops, I forgot to put my windows version...

I am using XP Pro with SP3.

I have AVG Internet Security 8.5.387 (currently the latest version) which
also controls the firewall.

I am able to "uninstall" IE8 using add/remove programs which puts the system
back to IE7 and the problem goes away.

And no... Norton hasn't been anywhere near this machine... I know better
than to do that

Did you disable all components and add-ons in AVG Internet Security (i.e.,
Resident Shield; firewall; Search-Shield; Active Surf-Shield; & Security
toolbar) and then enable the Windows Firewall prior to installing (and/or
uninstalling) IE8?

Have you purchased AVG Internet Security suite?

I do have a fully purchased version of AVG Internet Security.

I did not uninstall AVG prior to updating to IE8 - the other 9 pc's here
have all been installed the same way without any issues.

[To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you quote all of the
previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.]

I didn't ask you if you'd *uninstalled* AVG prior to installing IE8, Snicks.

Try this

Drag-and-drop of messages to Windows folder fails
regsvr32.exe ole32.dll

That can fix a problem with drag and drop of messages from OE to a
Windows folder, it might well fix a problem of drag and drop of an
attachment from OE to a Windows folder. It's worth a try and shouldn't
cause any problems.

[I know you meant re-registering ole32.dll might fix the problem but I'm not
sure the OP does, Michael.]
