• Vista, IE8, Windows Mail, can not open attachments

  I've been running Vista SP1 with Windows Home Premium and Windows Mail without problems, including handling e-mail attachments.  For safety, I: McAfee Total Protection, Windows Firewall, Zone Alarm and Windows Defender.

  I installed IE8 and liked the convenience features.   It worked well on my machine, but now I can't open e-mail attachments.  Security in Windows Mail by IE8 settings are maintained and are defined to allow attachments.  I uninstalled IE8 and the problem disappeared.  None of my security programs are scoring blocked attachments or otherwise.

  Any suggestions on how to fix this so I can go back to IE8?

• can not open attachments extension (Lotus Word Pro)-.lwp files.

  I can't open an attachment with a .lwp file extension

  I discovered that it is a Lotus Word Pro program that created it.  How can I updated with Microsoft technical support.  Pareto Logic wants to $29. 00 for a software "DriverCure".

  Please see my reply to your post later. There is no need to make two separate posts on the same topic. It's just more work for people who are trying to help you. I don't recommend any of DriverCure. Most of the messages on DriverCure are how to remove it! MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hello justin_springer1,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  I'll try first to go into your control panel-> default programs-> then set default programs.
  Make sure you have Internet Explorer as your default for open programs and try again.

  Did you change your OS recently that might have changed this?  New updates or software/hardware?   Please let us know status.

  Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

• Drive not opening - short gray screen and then turn off.

  Installed and re-installed 5 times. not expert enough to want to go and mess with registry keys - using the free download for years on PC private and a pro at work version. Seiously turns off after the last few weeks.

  I can't believe that they have not yet released a patch. I to we'll now probably, turn off acrobat then never return - fantastic marketing opportunity for smart people if they make the knowledge of it.

  They are blissfully unaware or they trawl fishing site and who use in their product design?

  Three things to try...

  1. Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, and then double-click Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
  2. You can open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable the Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Improved) security].
  3. It might even be a malware problem; See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

• I can't open attachments Yahoo mail, but can in Internet Explorer. Tried all of the suggested fixes and nothing works.

  I tried all that on the previous thread for the same problem and I can not open attachments. I have no problem with attachments in Internet Explorer. It looks like a problem of FireFox for me.

  Whuch suggestions did you try? Here are two recent threads, I found:

  • Firefox 977835/questions/977835 used to download all attachments from yahoo, all other downloads work email
  • / issues/978924 Cannot open the pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

  Have you tried /questions/977835? page = 2 #answer-506091 (change the parameters of 'Complete' to 'Basic')?

  Are you accessing Yahoo Mail directly from https://mail.yahoo.com/ instead of via a bookmark? Edit: I see already suggested this and linked to another thread, philipp/issues/971042
