Recently while reading headers in a couple of newsgroups I have been unable to see any attachments that were sent by the poster. A couple of times they were Scripts being attached. I have checked my options in Tools but they look alright to me.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWindows Mail (Vista) operated fine for over a year. Now I can't open attachments (photo .jpg, .txt., others). Error Message: "Command failed to execute". Tried all the suggestions above, no luck. What happened - how can I fix it?
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 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"
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?
Recently I have been unable to open any attachments in windows mail which I could previously open. I have uninstalled IE8 and gone back to IE7. When I try to open an attachment now, Microsoft Office Picture Manager opens everytime. How do I fix this

View 7 Replies View RelatedFor 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedStarting about 2 weeks ago, I can't open attachments in Windows Mail. Message says "command failed to execute" I have been reading the posts and still don't know what to do. How do I know if IE8 has been installed as an update? I'm inexperienced with technical stuff. I don't think I installed it, could it have installed on it's own as an update? Tried saving them to desktop but don't know how to separate them from the e-mail, so they still don't open.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently I was unable to open attachments at all, after uninstalling IE8 I
can now open PPS files but when I try to open a PDF attachment it opens up
Microsoft Office Picture Manager. The only way I can view the attachment is
to save it to another folder and then open it with Adobe 9.1.
I use a Vista and my Windows mail does not send any email with attachments like pictures or short movies, pps and others. Small attchments and normal outgoing emails work fine. I use ZoneAlarm and already disabled the email function, and dont know what else to do.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMost of the time when I attempt to open attachments (Media files such as jpg, mpg, wmv, etc.) the file does not open but I receive a message that OE cannot fnd the file. Usually, if I close OE and reopen, it will operate properly. Sometimes it is necessary to close and reopen more than one time. This never occurred prior to installing IE8. I am using Vista (64) home premium.

View 7 Replies View RelatedRecently bought a Dell Inspiron laptop from Future Shop and having a
couple of challenges:
1. Regarding standard text signature at the end of an e-mail: I set up
going through tools, options, signature and want it to appear at the end
of each originally created e-mail and the end of each reply or
forward...in Arial and font size of 10. Works fine when I create an
e-mail, but for a reply or a forward appears as Times New Roman.
Anything I can do to ensure always shows as Arial?
2. Regarding attachments received with an e-mail: often unable to open
when I click on. Someone suggested saving the attachment to the desk top
and then opening...generally works but a pain to save. Someone suggested
the problem is that I don't have full Microsoft Office suite on the
laptop just what came with it-Microsoft Works. Attachements being sent
are not unusual...generally Word, Excel, PDF or PowerPoint. Any
suggestion so that I don't have to save to desktop?
3. Last question...laptop came with a webcam, the workings of which I
am new to. Doesn't always open/work when I click on its icon...window
opens and says " please plug in a supported webcam". Sometimes when I
unplug from internet and reboot computer the webcam works.
ATTACHMENTS NOT OPENING IN WINDOWS MAIL ...
View 9 Replies View RelatedSeems I'm having the same problems as some others here, but I can not find the solution. I just purchased a Vista 32 Home Basic machine last week. ALL email attachments are blocked. I made sure the -Do not allow attachments-.... is unchecked in the Security tab. I'm running AVG Anti-Virus and checked those settings as well. I do see the paper clip indicating an attachment in mmy Inbox but when I opent he email there is no attachment.

The e-mail does not have the attachments when recieved on the Vista / Windos mail computer. I DO get attachments if e-mail is sent from someone else.
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust configured Windows Mail on my new laptop, and I can send and receive messages okay, but I cannot receive attachments. There isn't even any indication that the attachment was blocked; it's just not there. Also, I cannot receive HTML formatted e-mails (I get a news headline service); I can just see the hyperlinks. I have unchecked (cleared) the box that blocks .exe files, etc, but I'm only trying to send Word docs (to myself at this point to see if everything is working).

View 9 Replies View RelatedRight out of the blue I cannot open attachments with a .doc extention..I can open PDF attachments but not .doc. I use Open Office latest version. I can however save these attachments (usually resumes, I am a recruiter) to a folder on my desk top and view them from the folder. When I do try to open these resumes within windows mail I get an error window that says "c:windowssystem32 henthedocumentname.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhenever I try to send an attachment from windows mail, it parses the attachment into multiple files that get sent. I've looked for any properties to change but cannot find anything related. I've tried "send to" from the picture or file as well. It does send less files when I do this. I don't want to have manually compress (zip or whatever) and attachment every time I send.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having problems getting attachments to open on my Windows Mail. This started about a week ago right after I had to re-install McAfee Antivirus. I thought it had something to do with that so I went into it and disabled the email scan. It did not fix the problem. I also had SpySweeper installed on my computer but was told that with McAfee, I did not need it. So, I uninstalled it and it still didn't fix the problem. I also went into tools>options>security and made sure the option for "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" was not checked and it isn't.
View 9 Replies View Relatedvista/windows mail/office 2007 all installed. Error message to set associations in control panel. Have done this many times and seems that the correct icon is listed though when I go through the "change file association", the check box for "associate all the time" is greyed out so I cannot check it. If I save the attachments to the desktop, they open just fine but I want to be able to open them in Windows Mail. I saw the fix for .doc attachments. Is there one for exe also? Would I have to fix each extension/file type that I wish to open while in Window Mail.
