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 RepliesWhen 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 Replies View RelatedI have OE 5 Sent Items.dbx and Folders.dbx (from my old ME laptop) with my Windows Mail directory files on my new Vista laptop, but Sent Items won't open. When I click on it, my new WM Inbox opens instead. My old Sent Itemsfile retained its 221mb size in the move. When I open the WM program and see my Inbox, the old Sent Items aren't showing as folders on the left side.But if I search in the directory path: C driveusersmy nameApplication DateLocalMicrosoftwindows maillocal folderssent items -- it is there full size.
I have placed it there by itself, then dragged and dropped into the other sent
items folder with folder.dbx -- either way, the 221mb of sent items do not
appear.
I am unable to right click and empty my deleted items folder. When I do, it simply deletes one email, not the entire folder. I have tried a system restore to a few days ago when I know it worked.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been getting this error message when I try to open certain control panel functions from the RUN command line or through the MMC console itself. Other functions like performance information, user accounts and parental controls don't respond when clicked. Windows update might flash up the beginnings of a window for a split second but wont load. I've got the update icon on my task bar saying it cant update. Other than some key function being inaccessible the PC runs fine (apart form Firefox has started crashing out every now again) I can install software ok.
I've run the SVG /scannow thing and it found no problem Its my home PC sp I am setup as administrator. This problem is effecting another vanilla admin account AND the hidden Admin account. I've virus scanned in safe mode. System restore went through the motions but after it had restarted the PC it said it couldn't actually restore........
The "open with" command disappeared completely from my file context menu.
The fact is that I cannot have alternate choices of opening media files or any files, cause the command is not there!
So please, if anyone knows, tell me the default command line to edit on my registry...or otherwise please provide me the appropriate solution.
My OS is Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
I received the "command failed to execute" message when I tried to open an attachment on an e-mail. Why is this? What do I have to do to open the attachments no matther which extension has?
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 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'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 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.

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I tried to open proxy switcher program but everytime i do, this error occurs. Previously, I was able to open the program several times until i uninstalled it. A few days later, I re-installed the program again and tried to use it. But was unable to. I tried to turn on DEP for all programs and services except those i select which includes proxy switcher program. It dont seem to work either.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am writing to this Forum in desperation because I cannot find any way to get in touch by email with Windows Live OneCare even though I am a paid subscriber. I have NOT had a good experience of MS tech support. After 18 months of endless problems with Windows VISTA Ultimate Edition V 6001 I now wish to reformat my computer and get RID of it altogether, replacing it with System 7 for which I have a serial number and a beta download from the recent Microsoft online download offer.
As VISTA seems to have eleminated DOS altogether and the old FDisk command doesn't work from a command line start, I have tried to reformat from my OEM Vista Ultimate Edition re-installation DVD which I am certain used to offer me reformat and partitioin delete as the first options but that no longer seems to offer me any reformat option at all and not only instists only on re-installing VISTA (which I no longer want) but leaves the old installation in a directory renamed "WindowsOld" which VISTA will then not allow me to delete....
Since installing AVG 9 I have a few problems, one which is now known to AVG that attachements cannot be sent in the likes of Yahoo and Sky Mail, this has gone to the developers.
This one may not be AV related so thought I would ask here.
I have been unzipping files in Vista with no problem, after the download of AVG 9 I am unable to open them.
When I right click on the file I do not get Extract all in the list.
I do not know which is the program that opens zip files within Vista and so I am unable to tell it which program to Open with.
I recently bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit and everything on it works fine. Or well, not everything lol. I can't seem to get any burning software to work :s I tried installing Nero, but it gave me a message that "another program has just been updated, so you need to restart" (or something like that). I restart and it says it again. I tried installing CDBurnerXP and it installed fine, but when I start the program, nothing happens. Program don't open or anything. I then tried installing Starburn and it also installed just fine, but when I click on Data Burning Wizard, it shows up that it's trying to find CD/DVD burners, and it keeps searching forever (or well, I waited 30 minutes and then manually shutdown the program).

Every few days i try to open various emails via the paperclip with attchments such as .jpg files and the window opens up " Windows cannot find"xxxxxxxx.jpg". Kake sure you have typed the name correctly and then try again."
I can only open them if i save the attachment this happens to all emails in my inbox.
I have cured this in the past by doing a system restore going back a couple of days and things are good for 2 or 3 days then the same thing happens.

Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again." Clearly this message is misleading since I have not typed any file name and/or its path. I just double-clicked the attached file name.
