This can be due to security issue of Outlook. The email client has a feature for protecting your system from virus through attachment. You can turn them off and then try back to open those files. For that you have first launch Oultook Express. In that look for Tools and click on Options. You can see a Security tab on the top side. Click on that and look for a Security section. Go under Virus Protection and remove the tick from Do not allow attachments to be saved. It is a huge line. Click on Ok and then restart Outlook express. Now try to open your messages and attachments.

Some the attachment size cause the problem. In Outlook there is a setting available through which it can restrict the size of attachment. If it is over that, it will not open it or avoid downloading the same. You turn this thing off so that Outlook can download more bigger size attachments. For that you have to go in Tools > Options. In that you can see Mail Delivery. Remove the tick from Don't download messages large than and exit Outlook. Then turn it on back and then test back. This will be enough to fix the problem you are facing.
