I'm testing a new forum. Everything works great except file attachments. Every attachment seems to be altered somehow. Example, I attached a word doc. When I download it the name changes to index.doc and then it wouldn't open in Word. Also, if I attach a picture the name when you download it changes to index and all you get fora picture is a little red x. What changes do I need to make?

What browser are you using?
One thing you may want to try is do md5 check on the file on the forum machine (files/ directories is where the attachments are kept) and compare it to the md5 checksum of the original file and see if they match.
If they do, then the problem is a browser issue and we need to see about tweaking browser headers for this situation.

Is your forum running in https? What version of IE are you using?

IE 6.0 The site isn't running on a secure server though the plan is once the forum is set up and tested to put it on a https password protected area. Also, I'm able to download attachments on this forum if that helps troubleshooting

This forum is running a stock 2.7.6, so if it works here and you install the same version of your server it should work there as well. You may want to try and see what headers are being sent by your server in response to a request for a file download.
