Running OE 6 on Win XP-Pro SP3 on a brand new Dell Optiplex 760 desktop.
When I double-click on an attachment in an email message I get the following error; "The command failed to execute". This happens with all types of attachments, Word documents or .pdf files. If I save the attachment to the desktop and double-click it on the desktop, all attachments open with no problems. As I said, this is a brand new machine with over 150 gigs of free space available. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks.
