Default error "Excel has found unreadable Content"

I need to know a few answers

1) Can you open Excel files using shortcuts? OPen a window explorer by
right Click START button on an select explore. Find an Excel file and double
click. does it open. This is to test that the problem is only an E-Mail
problem

2) Save an Excel file that was recieved by e-Mail. From Outlook menu File -
Save Attachments. Save the Excel file to a file. Then OPen up Excel. From
Excel menu File - OPen - find the saved file and select. Do the file open.

3) Can you open a Excel file that wasn't recieved by E-Mail. Open excel and
follow step 2 except open a file that wasn't recieved by E-Mail. Make sure
Excel is still working.

i got this same message after installing a trial version of Microsoft
Outlook. When I go to an email with an Exceln attachment, it gives me this
message. Then when I open it, it comes in a format not like the original. I
am totally computer iliterate so I'm at a loss. I also tried to open
previous Excel documents not in an email and same thing happens.

Why can't I open this attachment like normal as before. I Had Excel, Word
and Outlook Express.
