Can't access attachments in outlook express

All of a sudden, today, I can't access any attachments in OE. I checked tools/options/security and made sure "do not allow attachments ..." was unchecked.

When I try to save them, I get a error message that says, "There was an error saving. Please check your free disk space and try again." I've checked and there is no problem whatsoever with disk space, plenty of room.

When I try to open the attachment, the message is "windows found that this file is potentially harmful and blocked access."

I can't right click on the attachment either to check it's properties.

EDIT: This is worse than I thought. I can't access my documents folder, and I can't open zip files.

I've been googling for the last 2 hours and haven't come up with a solution that works.

Anyone have any ideas?

It's on outlook express 6, Windows XP Pro, SP3
