You could try saving the attachments to your HD before opening them. It
is very likely you don't have the necessary application installed on
your system. Adobe reader, MS Office readers etc. Do you know what is
the extension of the document?

In order to open an attachment, you must have installed the appliction that
can open the attachment. For example, if you receive a .doc attachment, you
must have either Word, OpenOffice, or Word Viewer installed.

If you do have such an application installed, then your Windows file
associations are broken and you must repair them. Since that's not an Outlook
issue but a Windows issue, the answer is out of scope for this newsgroup.
