Unable Opening Attachments In Windows Mail
May 3, 2009
I wa always able to ooen attachments in my e-mail by clicking on the clip on the side of the e-mail and it automatically opened. All of a sudden, it won't open, I have to save it and then open it from my documents. When I click on it, Word or Excel will come up, but it says it can't find the file that was attached - and that never happened in the past. I "repaired" my Office 2007 in case something was wrong there, but that didn't help. Does anyone know what might have happened - Is this a Vista problem - and how do I fix it, so I can once again open my e-mail attachments directly from the e-mail.

Suddenly I cannot click on attachments to mail and have them open. This applies to any type of attachment, but most of mine are Office documents. When I try to open a Word document, it opens Word, and then a Word error message pops up saying: This file could not be found. (C:windowssystem32document name) I have unchecked the "do not allow attachments to be saved or opened" box (it was off already). I turned off email scan in Norton 360. No effect.I can, however, save the document and then open it. Which is timeconsuming.

I have recently done an upgrade on my internet explorer. I am unsure if my problem relates to this; however, I am unable to open documents in my emails (windows mail). I did not have any problems before hand. "This file does not have a program associated with it..." or "windows cannot find 'image.jpg'. Make sure you typed the name correctly..." " there was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found" are the error messages I receive. This is occurring so far with .pps , .pdf, and .jpg attachments on newly received messages and saved messages. Has any one had the same sort of problem or have a solution?

I've searched other questions on this, and here's a summary of my problem: I cannot seem to open attachments - and I'm sure I used to be able to. I have AVG Security. I have gone into Windows Mail and unticked the box in the Security section. I've tried sending to my other email accounts (yahoo) and still not been able to open attachments. I have Vista 32bit, Service Pack 1. I'm also getting an ongoing series of error codes on C:Windowssystem32avgrsstx.dll which all show 'bad image'. This file was modified on 16th June - but I'm not sure if its connected

Like many others based on previous posts, am unable to open or save attachments in windows mail. I think my problem is exactly the same as "anhlyss" had in the posts in January. I am hoping there is an easier fix than restoring factory setting. As suggested in other threads, I have ensured that I have unchecked the "do not allow attachments to be opened" box in options.
If I click on the attachment to open it, the little hourglass pointer comes up, and then goes back to the arrow, but nothing else happens. If I try to save the attachment, I get this message: "There was an error saving one or more of your attachments, please check your free disk space and try again"

There are discussions on this general subject but no aparent resolution. About two months ago I was sometimes prevented from opening photo attachments on some emails received from the same party and sometimes could open them. By this I mean, I would click on the paperclip where a list of photos would appear and I'd click on on photo and I'd get a message saying: "Windows cannot find file name (photo captions used by sender).jpg. Make sure your typed the name correctly and then try again." Well, of course I didn't type the file name; the sender did. I could click on the save attachments, and once saved to a folder I could open them from the folder. I forwarded the mail to others, and they report no problems in viewing the photos. I can also view the photos in the email itself, but it would be necessary to scan up and down and from left to right to view the whold photo and the caption would not appear.

I am suddenly unable to open attachments to my email in Windows mail without saving them I only want to open and view them without saving them. This problem started inexplicably as I could previously open attachments without a problem.

Since migrating to Windows Mail a year ago on a new PC running Vista, I've been unable to open, or to save and open, email attachments received in .pdf or .jpg format. When I try to open .pdf attachments, I get an error message reading, "This
file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." If I save a .pdf attachment in Adobe Reader and then try to open it, I get a message saying, "Adobe Reader could not open [file] because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I run Adobe Reader 8. Where do I look to find a solution to this problem? Is it related to the similar problem with JPEG's?

I received a notice that a service pack was available for my Vista os. Wanting to keep my operating system current and up to date, I clicked to install it. After leaving the computer run, I returned to find the computer had rebooted as I expected it to. The problem arrived when I went to check email. Clicking on any attachment, nothing will open! Jpg, mpg, wmv, pdf, nothing opents! I went to "Tools, Options" and made sure that my settings allowed attachments to be opened. Clicking Apply, I checked all other settings, made sure all appeared correct, I clicked ok.
I rebooted the computer again, and checked mail and once again, nothing would open...This happened to me once before, and I simply went to my system restore points and restored from an earlier date. Problem solved! So thinking that this would work, and as I have my computer set restore points weekly, I went to restore to an earlier date. Unfortunately, the only restore point was at the time of the update! So even though I restored the computer, it didn't solve the problem.

Every time I click on an email attachment to open it, I always get the window/box saying "you should only open attachments from a trustworthy source." How do I "fix" this pesky default? When I determine I want to open an attachment, that should be all that is required. A most irritating issue.

XP machine died. Am a newbie with Vista Home Premium and the bundled 'Windows Mail" Email client, (WinMail). Have used OE in the past on an XP machine before opted for OUTLOOK. Now evaluating WinMail before deciding on Windows Live OUTLOOK 2007 or Thunderbird, Eudora etc.
Am experiencing a problem with WinMail opening MSFT WORD attachments. When double clicking the attachment, am getting message "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." When I go to check the default file association, it is already associating file type "DOC" with Microsoft Office Word. (I have WORD2007.) If I save the attachment with "save as", it defaults the file type to "DOC", (sender probably using WORD 97 - 2003), then I can then open it with WORD2007. Have not experienced the same problem with opening attached "JPG" or "PDF" or AOL Email messages; that is, it will open just by double clicking on the icon/label.

For the last couple of weeks when I receive mail with attached pdf files, if I try to move or delete the mail Windows Mail hangs. Sometime it recovers but otherwise I need to kill it. I can open the attachment by clicking on the paper clip etc and everything seems fine so I don't think it's a security thing.
