Hi Diane,

Yes you're right; I had deleted temporary files in Internet Explorer.

I then looked in
c:\users\gseach.andromeda\appdata\local\microsoft\ windows\temporary internet
files\content.outlook\alq0yqk4
....but the folder was empty.

This is the folder pointed to in the Registry.

Hi Diane,

The folder had a lot of stuff in it, so I cleared it of all but cookies.
No change - the problem still exists.

Hi Diane,

Diagnostics revealed nothing. Did it twice.

The behaviour occurs no matter the file type. Even simple txt files
fail to open.

have you tried office diagnostics yet? That should be the first step.

does this happen for every attachment - from gif to jpg to pdf to word
and excel files or does it only happen with some file types?

Hi guys,

I have been unable to view attachments of any file type using Outlook
2007 on Vista Ultimate.

* When I try to view an attachment, for example a GIF file, I get a
message box saying "The operation Failed. An object could not be
found."
* When I try to save the attachment, I get a message box saying
"Cannot save the attachment."
* When I try to "preview" the file, I get a page with a message
saying "This file cannot be previewed. Try opening the file in the
program in which it was created."

I can, however, view, preview and save the same files on Windows XP /
Office 2003. Is anyone able to shed any light on this please?
