When i installed IE 8 as part of a Windows update I now have a problem opening pictures and other attachments in Winmail. I note that everyone appears to be having a problem with this update. If it does not work, it needs to be removed from the updates for Windows Vista. Vista is enough of a pain without adding to it.
View 9 RepliesI have a factory install version of trend microcillin, if I unistall it how do I get it back if that is not the problem with the opening of attachements. As others have said I have been using it for over a year and had no problems until I updated vista lately
View 9 Replies View RelatedI use Vista and have a problem. I can open my attachments, however, when I go back to open them again I get a message that says "command failed to execute".
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have attempted numerous attachments ranging from power point to emails
forwarded as attachments and am getting the error message "The command failed
to execute." Was doing fine with all my email attachments until I received
an upgrade for Vista. My upgrades are automatically received and downloaded
from Microsoft.
after installing automatic updates:ie8, winmail, Vista sp2, error message " command failed to execute" when attempting to open any type of attachment. only work around found is to save the attachment to a different folder then open. This is very annoying, it is un-believeable that MS would sabotage their own products with updates that DONT WORK, and I would expect a MS fix soon.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI see lots and lots of discussions. This is EASY to fix. I have Vista & IE8, BTW. click on Start (or the circle thingy for Vista), All Programs and right click Windows Mail (under All Programs, not on the start menu). Select Properties. The value "Start in:" is set to %UserProfile%. This does not work because opening an attachment cannot save the attachment to a temporary file on that folder. I changed it to "%UserProfile%Local SettingsTemp" and that fixes the problem. You can also just clear the field "Start in:" (remove the value) and that fixes it also.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI either get "the command failed to execute" or the attachment seems like it will open in the web and then nothing happens when trying to open attachments in Windows Vista. I recently installed IE8, but had the same problem when I had iE7, except I wouldn't get "the command failed to execute" error. It would just act as if it would open, but not do anything.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am getting the error "The command failed to execute" when I try opening a ..pps file in windows mail. I have Power Point 2000 installed (yes, I know, old version, but this my fathers machine and he is not wanting to buy the latest version if this continues to work, which I can understand). Anyway, the default file associations are properly set, and when the file is saved into the documents directory, you can click on the file and it will open properly. This problem is only happening in Windows Mail. Is there a simple fix to this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWindows Vista/32 bit/Home Premium. I installed IE8, started getting "command failed to execute" when I tried to open an attachment in my Hotmail (old style not Live) on MSN Premium with MSN Explorer. They would open in Live. I like the old stuff because it's easier to use for me. I read the threads to uninstall IE8. I did and problem fixed. Go to microsoft.com, click on the support tab, click IE Solution Center, click How to uninstall IE8, click Microsoft Fix It.
If it goes to your Download Manager, run it fro there after it downloads. Restart and check as it tells you to see that it uninstalled. Hope this works for you also. You'd think Microsoft could put a package together that would work with their own systems.... I have another problem that no one seems to know how to fix, had a recommendation to go to Mozilla Firefox.
I opened my windows mail this morning. As many others have done. The "command failed to execute" came up when I tried to open a pdf or adobe file. I have never had trouble opening them before. So? I looked at another e-mail that had a pdf/adobe file attached and the same thing happened.
Could someone please advise. I went threw the posts and seems everyone thinks it is connected with their anti virus. I run Previx and have for several years. No updates to it lately and never a problem such as this. I made sure the security box was unchecked. Which it was.
I tried to open both PDF and video files and am unable to. I tried saving the files and can't I get the command failed to execute. I installed IE8 and uninstalled and am still unable to open attachments.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just recently downloaded the new AVG 8.0 and since then I am unable to open email attachments on this computer. I use Windows Mail and hotmail, I am not able to accomplish this on either. I have 4 other PC's that have th exact same set up and no problems with them. Yes, I have gone through my settings and made sure the settings were set. I try to save the document and I get the error message failed to excute. If I diuble click to open the attachment, nothing, absolutely nothing happens. I have tried right clicking on the attachment and send to print....yet again...nothing, not even an error message. When your work depends on email, this sort of thing is extremely urgent. Anyone out there that actually has real advice to give? BTW I have tried disabling the aniti-virus program and still no go!
View 7 Replies View RelatedAs of today I can no longer open attachments. I have already unchecked the box that won't allow certain attachments and that didn't work. If I right click on the mail and double click on the attachment I get the message, "command failed to execute". I used to be able to single left click on an attachment to open but that does nothing now, just sits there without even an error message. The only thing I've done differently is take an update that they said I needed in order to make my screen saver work. I did that days ago though, and that shouldn't have affected my mail.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'll write this question in english to reach a larger public, although this is a problem I have with windows mail on a x64 dutch vista. Whenever I try to open an attachment in Windows Mail when I specifically open it by clicking on it from the list with email items, I'm getting this error: "Cannot execute command". When I try to do the same by clicking on the message so it displays a preview in the preview window, and then clicking on the paper clip icon, it doesn't show a message, but nothing happens. It doesn't matter how small/large the attachments are nor what their file type is. I can save any attachment, neither approaches give me problems with that. But opening them won't work...This is really inconvenient, because I have to save the attachments to a temp folder all the time, before being able to open them by using Windows Explorer.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI m trying to open anything from RUN command like msconfig, services.msc, gpedit.msc, diskmgmt.msc etc... it gives an error saying that i do not have the sufficient permission to open the file.

Also when i open system properties to create a system restore point, it says that the system restore creation is disabled by the Group policy editor.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIf I receive an e-mail with an attachment "DOC" my system can't open it. I'm running with Vista and even if someone else is using Vista I still can't open it. The system suggests Adobe or Internet Explorer neither of which works. I've tried to get my Microsoft Works Word to open it but I'm not having any luck. I don't have Microsoft Word, could that be my problem.
