• Cannot open the pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

  Clicking on a pdf attachment in AT & T/Yahoo Mail translates "a file has been downloaded. Used to open the file in Firefox 25.0 and earlier versions. Go to IE I can click on the attachment and it opens. Seems like it might be something in 25.0.1. I cleared my history (cache, cookies), but this has not fixed the problem. I disabled the read pdf and that did not help either.

  Hello
  Can you please confirm if this similar to other users who have reported issues downloading attachments in Yahoo mail. Can you please try this with Firefox in safe mode to see if that helps.

  1. Firefox has stopped downloading of attachments - 971042 #.
  2. Firefox won't download files - 978766 #.

  Based on your confirmation, we will check that and raise a Firefox bug if necessary.

  Thank you for your help

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  > To correct pass them: -.
  > Windows Mail
  > Tools
  > Options
  > Security
  > 2nd box should be empty (do not allow any parts attached to save or open

  I have done this and it does not solve the problem.

  ATTEMPT TO FIX N ° 2

  So I went to my Antivirus, Avira Antivirus program.
  and I changed:

  Configuration > CUSTODY > SCAN when READING and WRITING > USE FILE EXTENSIONS LIST >

  And here, in the list of extensions of files to analyze and prevent, I deleted the list: JPEG, JPG, PDF.

  This does not solve the problem.

  FIXING NO. 3

  I also run the new MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS BETA.

  went to MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS (BETA). SETTINGS > EXCLUDE FILE TYPES > and added *.jpeg and *.pdf

  There was no change, when I tried to open the PDF attachment, I always received: "command failed implementation.

  FIXING NO. 4

  (By the way, I have nothing better to do in my office on Monday morning held that fix this bug for MSFT).

  CORRECTION ATTEMPT N ° 5

  I finally found an electronic bulletin board and followed the suggestions to save the file to my desktop and then
  Open with Adobe and it worked well.

  WHY CAN'T I OPEN JUST JOINED MS MAIL?

  OK, I found another thread with an answer that works.

  Why this answer doesn't work, I have idea of NF.

  Instead of opening the e-mail from a shortcut program, on the desktop and open the e-mail program on the start menu to:

  Go to: all programs, then select Microsoft Mail.

  Then the attachments will be opened.

  It worked for me, it's worth a try.

  Good luck to you.  I know that's no fun.

• Cannot open or save an attachment in Windows Mail

  Hello

  I can't open or save attachments in Windows Mail. I can see the attachment and highlight it. However, double clicking on it does nothing. Make a click right attachment makes appear an option "save under", but when I try to save it, I get an error message saying, "the command cannot be run."

  I've never had a problem with Window Mail until yesterday. The problem started immediately after agreeing to compact the database of e-mail in Windows Mail. My Outlook in Office 2007 still works fine.

  Now, I've read a few interesting comments on the Web about this issue. The tips are given is a variety of different bugs 'proposed '. To some I've seen:

  1. checking / unchecking option boxes withinin Windows Mail Security (does nothing).

  2. turn off your A / V by sending an e-mail to scanning or uninstalling your antivirus total program (at the same time - nothing has changed).

  3 window mail accounts are corrupt due to antivirus updates installed (I have not deleted my accounts yet, but he can try it tonight).

  4 Microsoft don't support Windows Mail, so install Window Live Mail! (this suggestion from a Microsoft representative real - I think it's very disturbing, because I paid for Windows Mail, which is part of Vista).

  OS - Vista Home Premium (latest drivers and updates)

  Anyway, if anyone has any info on this issue, any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hi all

  As I was listing the foregoing, it dawned on me that it was perhaps related to the security settings for the "Internet" zone

  So, I opened IE (8), tools, Internet Options, Security tab.  There, I saw something that I had not seen before, a checkbox titled enable Protected Mode; and it has been verified.

  I've disabled and pressed to apply.  He tells me that my computer is in danger, and I agreed to that.

  The drag-and-drop attachment problem is now fixed.

  I checked IE7, and it doesn't have such a box.  Thus, the check box has been added with IE8, and its default value is checked.

  I hope this is the last time that I visit this thread; But if it gets handed over by magic, I guess that I'll be back.

• How to open a PDF file in Microsoft Mail - Version Microsoft Vista

  I ache to open a PDF attachment in an email sent to my email from microsoft.  Premium version of Windows Vista

  Thank you

  Microsoft Mail has not been in production for 15 years. Using the default Vista Windows Mail? Adobe Reader is installed? The attachment opens if you save it on your HARD drive? If so, then create an association.

  Save the attachment to your HARD drive. Right-click on it and open with | Choose the program. Find and choose a program that works, (Adobe Reader), then check the box: always use this program to open this type of file. This should allow you to open these attachments in the future.   Bruce Hagen MS - MVP [Mail]

• It cannot open any files attached to the email.

  I can't open the files attached all e-mail (even if it's a small file, just 20 words on this subject). Please tell me how to solve this problem.  Thank you!

  Since you have Open Office, you should be able to open it if you followed my instructions above to create a file association. People without Open Office won't be able to open it.  (http://www.ajaykumarsingh.com/microsoft/how-to-open-odt-file.html)
   
  Given that you tried to create an association with no luck, I would say that this is perhaps a problem with Hotmail and ask here you can get a better answer.
