Second sending; I forgot to disguise the "V" word in the first one.
Dorian, I followed your directions and it seems I have all the file associations correct. I'm sending you in private a picture of the Folder Options window to show you the association, "Extension doc opens with Winword" ... I think that's what you are saying in your suggestion. My ISP said it might be my McAfee v*rus scanner stopping the email documents from opening up and I should call them asking the how to disable it. Makes no sense to me as I never even use it; it's not in my Ctrl/Alt/Del list and not in my msconfig Startup list. They'll say anything they want to sound knowledgeable. I reinatalled MSWord and that didn't help. I hope I don't have to reinstall Windows (I'm good at it but with what's involved, it's a day's work) ... Harold From Dorian I've been thinking..........the problem may be file association related. Click on My Computer Click View from the menu bar Click Folder Options. Select the File Types tab Scroll the list, and see if you have MSWord 2000 associated to open a .doc file.........Hope this helps and if this is not the correct answer someone will correct me. ... Dorian ----- Original Message ----- Hello again ... Windows 98 and MSWord 2000, Something new is happening. Anyplace in my computer I have no trouble opening up my MSWord documents. However, when I get a document attached in email, even when I email one to myself, when clicking to open it, I get the following message: "Sorry ... A viewer for this format is not currently available" What's happening and why does life always have one problem or another? ...
