Windows 2008 R2, Office 2010 protected view
I recently installed a new Windows 2008 R2 server system on my laptop for Sharepoint development. After installation of Sharepoint 2010 & Office 2010 I got strange errors opening Office files from internet and even from my own Outlook archive. I got these errors in Word and Powerpoint:
I had the same installation on a Windows 7 box so I started looking for differences. When opening Office files like Word or Excel they are opened in protected view on my Windows 7 machine. So could this be my problem? I disabled protected view in Word, Excel and PowerPoint and now everything works.
So disable the following options if you use Windows 2008 (R2) on your workstation and you are experiencing errors opening Office files.
Go to Trust Center menu and click on the button Trust Center Settings.
