Since recently upgrading to 2007, I have run into a problem with email
attachments not opening. I think I have deduced that they all have .msg
extensions to the attachment file type. or it says Outlook file type. For
whatever reason they won't open. Any help would be appreciated.

I ran into the same problem, and fixed it by disabling the google desk top
search as follows:
go to Tools> Trust Center>add-ins > at the bottom Manage "pull-down box"
pull down to Exchange Client Extensions > go then uncheck Google Desktop
Outlook Addin
What a pain to find the answer, though.

I, too, have the problem of not being able to open attachments with .msg
extension. When I went to Tools I coiuldn't find Trust Center, and therefore
couldn't proceed, Perhaps you have a different solution.

Then, perhaps you're not using Outlook 2007.

Do you have Google Desktop Search installed?

I'm using Outlook 2002, the version that came with my laptop. And, yes, I do
have google Desktop Search installed.

Google Desktop Search produces the symptom you describe. Either uninstall
it, tell it to not index mail, or download the most recent version, which is
supposed to fix the problem.
