Attachment Scrambled
Jul 7, 2008
Friend of mine sent me an attachment which is in Chinese language. He uses Yahoo.com, and I use cogeco.ca. We sent e-mails in Chinese many times without problem. Attachment in Chinese is the first time From him.
** the file is in DAT file type **
Here is my problems : -
1.) I attempted to open the attachment and I got the following error message : " This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.Create an association in the Set Associations control pane."
2.) So, I saved the attachment to Pictures folder, and opened it to Notepad. It worked, BUT content was all scrambled. Couldn't read. Now in WM, I can decode it, but in notepad there is no such option.
3.) Then I tried Microsoft Power Point. It couldn't find the darn attachment.
4.) Then I tried both the Microsoft Office Excel and Adobe Reader, non worked.
Note : I did include Notepad, MS Excel and Adobe as the programs it will open onto, in case someone wondered.

All my folders and shortcut images icons look like this: ImageShack - Hosting :: capturezp3.jpg instead of this: ImageShack - Hosting :: capture1ot6.jpg or this ImageShack - Hosting :: capture2vy4.jpg

It is in an unbootable state right now. I am posting from another computer. After apparently downloading and beginning the upgrade, it just stops, with a message sort of like: !! 0xc09000 HelpPane.exe !! on the screen. I am actually not sure of the numbers; only the HelpPane.exe part and the double exlaimation points.

I have a large number of folders, several thousand, that I use to keep student tests and forms for our free online Bible College. A new problem has developed, starting October of 2009, which is now increasing in the number of folders affected. The email tests and forms will come in with one Subject line but something totally unrelated in the body of the email. Example: The Subject line will say "The Bible One Quiz Results" but the body will contain the test results for Salvation 5. And the file that is in the body is many times very repetative over several email submissions from my students............

I am having a problem with a scrambled display in Vista. Here's what's happening: If the computer has been idle long enough for the display to go into standby mode, once it is reawakened, everything seems normal. That is, until you do something that requires UAC, or a 3D game. When the UAC screen dimms, the screen becomes totally scrambled. The same if you start a 3D game like Doom. There is no clearing the display - the computer has to be rebooted.
Interestingly, if after the computer wakes from standby I log off, then log back on, the system performs properly, with no screen scrambling. The system is an Athlon X2 6000, nVidia 7900GT, Vista Ultimate (32-bit) with all the updates and patches. I have installed the nVidia 169.25 drivers, though this problem has existed with all the previous drivers.

I can't believe MS managed to completely blow this AGAIN after all the problems with Vista initially. My 1 year old computer is a worthless brick right now. I can't be the only one with this problem. I am fuming right now. How can MS fix this ?!?!

I am using Vista and Office 2007 and each time I try and attach the file it states that 'Some of the files could not be found, and could not be attached to the message. Would you like to send the message anyway?' Could somebody spread some light on this for me please. I am not using office for a commercial purpose at all

With my Windows Mail, attachments are missing from only certain senders. My co-worker, Sue, sends out email blast with attachments to multiple recipients including myself. I've verified that other recipients did received the email with attachments w/o a problem, however, when I open my email, the attachments are not there. This only happens with this particular sender only. I've also verified that other recipients do use Windows Mail.

We are new to Windows Mail and this is baffling me. We are members of several Yahoo Groups and ALL the emails that come through from the groups are marked with an attachment icon. Yahoo does not allow attachments in their group emails, so why the icons and how do I get rid of them? Our regular emails that are not from one of the Yahoo groups only have the attachment icon when there is an actual attachment, so what's with the Yahoo emails? I checked the email settings to allow html and pictures and set the security setting for "Internet Zone" which is less restrictive, but the icons still show up.

Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP1, Windows Live Mail 14 v. I know how to insert background music on an e-mail, but ........I can not figure out how to make it as a background music when and ONLY when the attachment is opened. NOTE : I do not want to convert the music to .wav format. It takes too long and it does not work if the music is too long. What I have be doing is this : Open compose window > Format > Background > Sound > browse to music folder, pick my choice > Open, choose of times or continuously > OK My problem is : as soon as the e-mail is opened by the recipient, music starts. It does not wait for attachment to be opened. What steps have I missed ?

When I receive a Word document as an attachment in an email Windows Mail will not let me open it. The file is in the email and has the proper icon and file extension. When I try to open it it asks if I want to Save or Open the document; I choose Open. The I get an error message: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." I can save the attachment to my desktop and then open it no problem but I don't think that I should have to do that. I should be able to double click on any attachment and it should open with the proper program, right?

I am using Windows Vista Mail in the Vista Premium Home Version, 2007, Service Pack 2. Recently, I attached some reduced size photos (about 60kb each) to an email. When I sent the email, they remained attached but also, they opened up for viewing in the body of the email, making the email HUGE in size. I have searched for ways to turn this feature off, so that the attached photos do not open and show up in the body of the email, but without any luck. Therefore, currently I cannot turn this feature off. I only want photos to be attached, NOT OPEN UP to be viewed in the body of the email. Does anybody know how to change the setting in my Windows Mail so that the attachments will NOT open up?

On Monday morning, as usual checking mail in office using windows mail, all attachment was able to open (through the paper clip icon or save into other location.
Then after lunch, all type of attachment (picture, excel, words, pdf.) can not be open through the paper clip icon. Then i try to save it and open again, these message pop up "there was an error saving one or more of the attachments. Please check your free disk space and try again", i can't safe the attachment.
If forwarded to other people, it's ok, open and view as normal.
Another thing I encounter, i can't open web based email attachment as well,
since I'd forward (to try) the office attachment mail to my personal account.
I try to save it, the saving process as usual, but when saving is done, the file was not saved at all.
I'm using Vista Home basic, Version 6.0 (build 6002: SP2)
Window mail Version 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205)
I have Win defender ON, and AVG free edition, Version 9.0.708
Some said it's IE 8 causing the problem, so i uninstall it, the same problem happened.
now I'm using IE 7 (Version 7.0.6002.18005)

Incoming jpg photo attachments cannot be opened. When I click on an attached file, the message "Windows can't find jpg file" appears. Get the same error if I want to open an outgoing jpg file. Have not made any changes to the computer other than adding IE8, but this problem occured before installing that. Reboots don't help and haven't found anything in troubleshooting that addresses this issue.

Recently my Vista Home Premium's Windows Mail developed a(nother) new problem. When I click on an attachment, it does not open. My left click is ignored. I keep current with upgrades. This laptop has always had a screwy copy of windows. I'm looking forward to Windows 7. I hope it has drivers for my 2+ year old Acer Aspire 5610. But I'll lose about 20% of my apps, because I either don't have the CD's
anymore, or I downloaded the app.

I have backup software on my computer that backs up to an off-sitelocation.I had some questions about how well it was or wasn't functioning, and I attempted to send the tech a copy of the data log as an attachment to my email to him.However, after I attach it to the email, when I try to send it I get a pop-up that says, "Some of the files could not be found, and could not be attached to the message. Would you like to send the message anyway?" What is causing this problem? As far as I can tell, I do not have the
file opened when I'm trying to send the email. (I sent the log anyway by copying it and pasting it into a Word document, and then attaching that to my email.)

I am running Vista Home Edition/OL 07. I have an email in my outbox for 4 days that has a 1 GB file attached I cannot delete it is hanging up other very small emails also from going out. I have tried working offline and deleted the auto send receive, shutting down etc. Only way I can get any emails out at all is to shut down OL program and restart it, but that only works sometimes.

Whenever I click on an email attachment for instance when replying to a craigslist item, 2 windows pop up and say that my computer is low on memory or is unstable and the other window says that MSDOE could not be started or something like that because it is busy due to spyware scanning it or something. Any clue how to get it to work?

I have an HP laptop with office. When I type out a paper in the word processor and attach it to an e-mail it cannot be opened - even on the same laptop. Any ideas/solutions? The attachment is in application/octet-stream. The two most abundant things in the world are hydrogen and stupidity.

When I receive a .doc attachment, I can't open it from the email. I get the message "the file cannot be found." If I save the attachment to a folder then try to open it, I am able to. Why won't it open directly from the email?

I cannot open pps files that I get as an attachment in an e-mail. I get the message "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel."by editing the registry renaming Show to Open. I still get the same message when trying to open the attachment. If I save the attachment to the desktop or a folder, I am able to open it. I use PowerPoint Viewer 2003 and my OS is Vista Home Premium with SP1. Before I installed SP1, I had to re-image my hard drive. Previous to the re-image I was able to open a pps attachment from an e-mail because before the re-image I had edited the registry as indicated in the above link. My question is - why doesn't this fix work now?

I am using hotmail format, I insert file, click on the pic I want, it shows up as an attachment under the subject line, but every one of them ends up in the body of the message as opposed to an attachment. Not only does it take a long time to send, but my recipients are not happy about a pic so big that they have to scroll to see different parts of it

When I am sent an email with attachments (ex. pics or an email with a couple of forwarded emails attached), they stripped or not included in the email. Is there a setting or something I need to change?

I have opened an xls file from my inbox in windows mail. I worked on it and modified it. Then I pressed the X button to close it and excel asked me if I wanted to save the file. I said YES, and it saved the file. Now I can't find it in anywhere. I reworked on the file like 2 hours. I must find it. Already searched everywhere documents, temp files etc.
