I have stopped being able to open or save attachments. They are correctly associated. Also downloading from the net the files go through the downloading process but do not appear when the download process has finished.

However I can create and copy files locally. I also have McAfee installed and when this is turned off it still continue. Running tune up utlities shows no errors. Currently running a long defrag on the machine.

Help! Weird.

Start in safe mode and run the antivirus and cclenaer, also spyboot. Delete the temporally files.
