Unable To Open E-mail Attachment - Asterix
Sep 27, 2006
For years now people have been sending me e-mails with ''wmv attachments and I haven't had any trouble opening them until a few days ago. Now every time I try to open one of these attachments I get the following error message. OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: *.wmv''where the Asterix is the name of the file. Does anybody have any ideas what my problem is? I know I am getting these files from a trusted friend so I am not worried about getting a virus. Like I said, I have been opening them for years. I have no trouble playing the ''wmv files that I have saved on the computer.

I am running Microsoft Works XP and have used the Word Processor to create a resume. I have saved the resume to My Documents. I have sent it out as an attachment to e-mail. Those receiving the e-mail say they get an error message that they can not open the program. The receivers usually ask me to resend as a Word Document. As far as I know it was orginally sent as a word document

up until a month ago I was able to send attachments with my e-mail. Now,
when I click on the "attach files" button, it continues as if is attaching it
then stops and goes straight back to the main e-mail page. No error message
or anything!I've tried it with different attachments and I've tried by
disableing the firewall.Again, this was working just fine up until a month
ago.

My operating system is Windows XP utilizing Internet Explorer and Outlook Express 6.
Upon opening the attachment on certain e-mails from people I know, the following window appears and I cannot open the attachment!"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folder option control panel"I can find and open the control panel folder option, but have no idea how to proceed from there! Does one have to repeat this procedure (however you instruct me to proceed) with every e-mail that presents this problem?

I am running windows xp and outlook express. I often receive emails from friends who send me attachments that I cannot open. They are usually from an older computer, probably running microsoft works, not word. They are wps files. I have tried downloading a converter, but it didn't work. Sometimes I can open them but all I get is symbols.

I have Windows xp pro on an IBM Think Center. I can receive, download and print a large file using Outlook Express. If I then try to forward this file, either the recipient gets it but is unable to open it or it is scrambled and unreadible... OR... the recipient never recieves it and then I receive 2 or 3 emails (depending on the size of the file) stating FROM: "mail delivery system" and SUBJECT: "delivery status notification". I AM able to upload or forward small files of say 2 or 3 pages without a problem. I've tried to find some setting that I could change but have be unsuccessful.

How can we post an attachment "inside" the message in this site when we post either a new post or a reply... versus just having the attachment as a separate item at the bottom of the message that the viewer has to click on to see it? I'm just dying to be able to do that. I have seen huge attachment such as "Print Screen" right along with the written message.

I have Windows XP Home edition and use Outlook Express 6.0 My Brother has Windows XP Pro edition. He also uses OE 6.0. Whenever I send or forward an email with an attachment, he can't open the attachment. It says there is no file associated with it. I am sure that he doesn't have something checked off or something is checked on in his settings, that is causing this problem. This is frustrating for me because i have been sending him all kinds of emails with attachments and he hasn't been getting them. What would cause this to happen?

I have developed a problem attaching and sending/receiving URL's. On receipt from a known sender i receive *.url in the attachment box and when i click to open, a window appears saying " Windows has found that this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to to this file." I have recently started using Microsoft Anti Spyware Beta version and am wondering whether this is having an effect.

When i send an email with attachment, my recipients could only receive the email message but not the attachment if they use outlook express. But if they use outlook they can receive both attachment and email message. As these users are of different companies i suspect the problem is the settings on my side. Is there anything i can set to resolve?

About a month ago my husband was having trouble sending emails. I would sometimes, but it would eventually work for me, but still not for him. He told me he had heard about the email antivirus scanners and somehow they block outgoing mail. So I reinstalled our Grisoft AVG antivirus without the email scanner. Now we can not send any attachments at all. Pictures, documents, nothing. I since reinstalled the email scanner since when trying to send I would get the message that a virus was attached. It still happens. It kicks it back along with about 50 messages telling why. Looks something like this..........

XP Pro - SP2 - Outlook Express Sometime ago - some strange force compelled me to uncheck the box that says "Always ask before opening this file" for a PPT attachment. Now PPT attachments automatically open without the Warning Dialog Box. I have gone into Folder Options/File Types/Advanced/Confirm - made sure that the box is checked. Still doesn't matter. I have tried to attack this several ways - still no go. How do I get the dialog warning box back?
