Default Outlook 2007 blocking attachments

For whatever reason, I now cannot open attachments with Outlook. I
double-click the attachment and nothing happens.

Any ideas?
Thanks much.

My apologies...I was unclear. Specifically, e-mail forwards.
Nah, no Google desktop search.

Thanks much.

well... that is usually caused by Google desktop. What add-ins do you have
installed?

Forgive me, I was able to overcome the issue and I made an error in my prior
response.

I had the Google Desktop software installed in my computer, just had the
option to automatically start the software turned off. Removed it through
Add/Remove Software and am now able to open Outlook attachments.

Thanks, Diane, for your help.
