Windows Mail Sudden Button Save Attachment Paperclip

Mar 13, 2009

Vista, Home Premium, Windows Mail all of a sudden the button to Save Attachments under the Paperclip is greyed out for images such as .jpg I can see the image numbers/names listed but all in grey. I can still save them by rightclicking them in the preview pane but for a mail containing many pics that is rather cumbersome.For other attachment such as movies, powerpoints etc. the Save Button is NOT greyed out and works fine for quick saving...

Attachment Not Open Up Email

Dec 31, 2009

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?

Email Attachment-Can't Find Files

Feb 9, 2009

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.)

Email Blank, No Attachment, Nothing Showing

Jul 8, 2008

We have 4 computers in our office. One runs Vista - the other 3 are XP. A customer of ours sends an email to my email address and the Vista guy's email address with a PDF attachment enclosed. I get the attachment, but the Vista guy does not. His email is blank with no attachment clip or nothing showing any kind of an attachment. How can that be? If I 'forward' the Vista guy in our office the same email that was sent to both of us, THEN he receives the attachment and can view it. How can someone forward an email attachment to two people and one of them not get it?? I've checked all his security settings and his firewall and nothing is amiss. He can get email attachments from everyone except this one customer.

Attachment Doesn't Received Email

Aug 7, 2009

I just received an email that also has an attachment. There is a spot for the attachment (picture) to actually appear in the email--there is a red square box with a little "x" on the upper left side where the picture should be; but there is nothing in the box. But I can open the attachment with I click on it. The attachment is: image003.jpg(12.5KB). I am running Vista Home Premium with Norton's 360.

Vcard Email Attachment Icon Won't Open

Feb 5, 2009

I'm new to this, so hope I'm not being repetitive. I recently started working from a home office. Got most things working fine. However, when I receive a vCard as an email attachment, it comes with a generic icon and won't open. I tried associating it with MS Outlook, so now it opens a new email, with the vcf file in the attachment spot. If I double-click that, it does it again. Of course, now I can't remove the association - and in any event I don't know what program to put in its place. I've tried clicking the "find appropriate programme on the web". It tells me that the file is a .vcf (I knew that) but doesn't provide me with the program I need. In the past Outlook has just automatically handled this stuff.

Setting Default To Open Email Powerpoint Attachment

Aug 23, 2009

My system restore fails every time I attempt it. This has happened the last 3 times I had a need to attempt restore. (Three attempts separated by months in time, about different issues.) This time, I am thinking something may be wrong with my system restore function.

In this case, it is simply a matter of trying to roll back a browser update.

I saw a whole list of available restore points, and I went to the second one back - from only a few days ago. The restore failed.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, OEM from Gateway Laptop about 1.5 yrs old. I allow most updates.

What Is The Padlock Symbol By The File Title

Mar 26, 2008

I am new to NTSF file system. What is that padlock symbol by the file title and why there is nothing about that in Windows help? I searched using keyword: "padlock" with no results and "locked files" lead me to "Working with files and folders" and there is not even one mention about that. Is that so common thing everybody knows about that Microsoft does not bother to explain?

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.

Oct 23, 2009

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.

ALL Emails Have Attachment Icon

Jun 8, 2009

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.

Background Music On An Attachment

Feb 6, 2009

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 ?

Cannot Open Word Attachment

Mar 23, 2008

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?

Windows Mail :: Attachment Cannot Be Opened

Nov 25, 2009

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)

Cannot Open Jpg Attachment In Windows Mail

Apr 9, 2009

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.

Windows Mail Attachment Does Not Open

Jul 29, 2009

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.
