Error message trying to open a forwarded email that is attached?

I am running Outlook 2007. I can open all attachments except for when
someone sends an email as an attachment.
I can't preview, double click or open it ...
Error Message is:
MS Office Outlook message and Item previewer ... to open this file in its
own program double click it.

I can't double click the forwarded/attached email.
Anyone know what is causing this?
I know it has to be a setting somewhere b/c I can forward the same email to
a different computer running Outlook 2007 and open it with no problem!
Thanks!

Might the other computer not be running Google Search but this one is?

Try upgrading Google Desktop to the latest build and see what happens.

You are a genius! I uninstalled Google desktop and it worked!
How did you ever discover that Google desktop was causing this bizarre
behavior in Outlook?

Thank you so much!
