    I think, there is something wrong with that CD.
    I wonder, if you can boot with it.

        For some reason the SFC is running with the OS disc in.

        I think, your problem is, that you have SP3 installed on your computer. You're receiving message "windows on computer is newer version than on CD", because CD doesn't have that SP on it.
        Unfortunately, it's impossible to slipstream SP3 into Media Center Edition CD, so I'm not sure what to do at this point.

        Let's see, if it'll accept that CD, if any changes are needed.

            You're welcome, but I'm not satisfied.
            One more try. Install Thunderbird, and see, if same problem exist.
            What AV are you using?

              Am having some success with my Outlook Express. I can download xls and PDF files. Still having problem with the video clips. Will try Thunderbird

                  Are you saving the email attachment as a file to your hard drive before trying to run it?
                  If not then give that a try.

                    Saved the attachment to desktop and hard drive despite this I can still only get audio no matter what player I use.

                    I'm glad about some progress.
                    Two more questions...
                    1. Can you play regular (not from attachments) video, like video DVD, on your computer?
                    2. Is this a problem with just one attached video, or more of them? Same sender?
                    Upload one of those videos here: http://www.uploadbigfiles.net/, and post download link.
