[Your post took ~48 hours to show up here, Steve, while posts made via OE haven't shown any delays AFAIK. Wonder if the "Community" feature is the culprit? cf. thread in newsserverstatus newsgroup]

I'm running XP SP3, IE7, OE6, all up-to-date. Several days ago OE6 worked
perfectly.
Recently, I have installed and unistalled some programs. One of them must
have affected my OE6 and/or the registry. [I have a multiple anti-malware
protection, so I rule out any infection, also because I do scans daily.]
When trying to open any attachment in sent or received e-mails, nothing
happens. When trying to save attachments, I get this message:
"There was an error saving one or more of the attachments" [The other part
of the message is not copied since it is irrelevant with my huge free
disk(s) space and 3 GB memory.]
I have googled for the above phrase in quotes, found several pieces of
advice for folks who reported the same problem, followed some of them,
including the advice at
http://forums.techguy.org/web-email/385298-problems-opening-attachments-outlook-express.html.
While the other files suggested on the above forum for re-registration did
register successfully, the following 3 files have failed to register for
various reasons:
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll ("module could not be found")
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
Multiple instances of all of the above suggested files do exists on my PC.
I have not followed precisely what
http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?t=75634 advise (since I have
IE7). Instead, I downloaded ie6setupOe.exe, latest available, 497 KB, from
http://download.softpedia.ro/dl/0642388239603d711ff903bd4d883189/49a72c4d/100000040/software/INTERNET/EMAIL/ie6setupOe.exe,
did NOT want to make any modifications to the registry, and then I tried
to
run ie6setupOe.exe with the "q" switch, but installation did not proceed.
I have not tried to run IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe (Version 6.2.29.0 (Oct
'07)) since I have all updates and installation (of the older files) might
not succeed.
Neiher have I followed the advice at
http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?t=75921: uninstall Windows
Defender and reinstalled it again.
I'm afraid that I have to give up at this stage and must seek advice of
others. I have only a dial-up connection, but will check frequently (I'm
10
hrs ahead of UTC).
Thank you in advance for a problem-solving piece of advice.
