    Did you verify the SEPM is downloading content for 12.1 clients?

    I cannot enable sylink log, regedit error creating valuve

    Now I have another problem (urgent)

    My company have about 60 symantec client and 1 server SEPM.

    We use outlook to send and receive mail.

    Some excel files attached in outlook, can not be opened with the error as below:

    "The file you are trying to open, 'Khoan thang 3.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"

    If I stop the symantec, we can open it normally ( smc -stop)

    We using outlook 2007 and windows 7.

    Please help me!

    To edit the registry, disable tamper protection and try again.

    Is the file on a network share?
