Problem: Outlook won't open forwarded messages (*.MSG)

If you receive an error when opening forwarded messages (sent as attachments), uninstall Google Desktop Search or revert to the previously installed version.

Reports indicate that opening Settings, Options and removing the check from the "Use Documents and Spreadsheets to open certain file types" box corrects the problem without uninstalling GDS. If it doesn't help, you'll need to uninstall GDS.
