View 4 RepliesI set my partner up with a live.com.au email address and he has been unable to open the attachments. they are word / excel 97-2003 documents and spreadsheets and also some photos - jpg files. He currently has office 2007 trial on the laptop and I have downloaded word & excel viewer 2003 but most of them are still not opening. I had a couple open and then the next day when I tried to open them again to save them well they wouldn't.

I am not able to open or save attachments from my email. a window will open up and ask to save or open, but when I click open it will save as if it is going to open the attachment but never shows the attachment. when I "save as" an attachment it supposedly sends it to my computer, but I can never find the file. If I go to recent downloads and select the file that I downloaded it says it is missing the shortcut. I am up to date with Adobe Reader for pdf files.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSince 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?
If 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.

I get a "The file can not be found" message. Had a big windows service pack yesterday, could that change any mail settings?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI always used outlook 2003 in Win XP Pro, then I got a new computer and I installed my registered version of Microsoft Office 2003 on my new computer running Vista Home Premium. Then I found out that I was not able to get attachments in Outlook from anybody that had me in the Cc as a recipient. It did work as long as I was the only reciepient though.So I thought so what, I will use vista.mail, because it allows me to use the newsgroups as well. It reminded me on Outlook Express. Now I miss using Outlook again, and I clicked on the icon, and right away Outlook freezes, and I can't get the cursor on to the Outlook desktop, it will stay all around my other desktop, but will not go to Outlook. Have they changed things in Outlook on my present OS so I will be able to look at attachments from my friends? and how do I get Outlook to respond again. Maybe I need to turn something off or on in either Outlook or Vista.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedNew Toshiba laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. Windows Mail as email client; unable to view or open any attachments. Attachment is clearly visible in the Preview pane with a yellow paperclip, but I am unable to access this attachment in any way. I have AVG 8.5 installed as AV / Email Scanner (this program is known to work with other Vista 64-Bit OS'). IE8 was previsously installed, but after reading threads in this forum, I removed it and restarted the computer- but still have the same problem.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy PC is running on Windows Vista SP1 and I am using Windows Mail as my mailclient. Two of my colleagues have recently started using Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 respectively as their mail client (both of them running on an Windows XP SP3 PC). It happened several times already that I was only able to receive the text of their email messages, but not any attachments at all. Their attachments are Word documents and PDF files. It has never happened before when my colleagues were using OE6 as their default mail client

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'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
View 4 Replies View RelatedLike 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"

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.

Whenever I attempt to send an email with any attachment, small or large, the system times out and gives mean error message "Task 'mail.comcast.net - Sending' reported error (0x8004210B) : 'The
operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP)server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).' "
It does not seem to be the program - Outlook - since I tried another email program and got the same results. My wife sends emails with no problem on another computer in the same network and same ISP.
