  1. HELP PLEASE !!! My problem is the same as the poster. I followed your solution steps above, but when I selected "Protected Mode" in the Trust Center Settings, none of the links provided would open. My cursor sits there and nothing happens. No wonder I can't open email attachments. Also, I am running Windows 8.1, does that have anything to do with this problem? This is only one of many, many problems I have had with Office 2013, I dread getting on the computer and am tired of crying at the keyboard. (Thanks for letting me vent).

  5. If you've already done this and experience the problem again later on go back in check all the boxes and uncheck them again. I've had to do this once and it seemed to fix the problem.
