I recently had my desktop tuned up and when I recieved it back they updaed
the Bios and now I cannot open microsoft (xcel, Word, Powerpoint) file with
the standard application. It opens as Read only and the content of the file
is blank. I can open the word document with clipboard, excel with the
internet option and Powerpoint with viewer. In additon, when I try to attach
docs to an email through the desltop short cut, it gives me the following
error "ccess to the following potenially unsafe attachements has been
blocked: xxxxxxxx.INK"

Any thoughts?

Do you have any of the MS Office applications installed? If you do you can
run the "Reinstall or Repair" option via Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs >
Change button for your version of the application, or you can do it via the MS
Office application installation disk.

Updating the BIOS will *NOT* cause proplems with MS Office.

Take it back to the place that screwed up you PC or have them refund your money.

I've never liked that policy, take it to someone else and have them bill
the place that screwed it!
