Cannot open an attachment in Windows Live Mail 2012.

Original title:

Clive

I can't open attachments in Windows Live Mail 2012.  On right click on it I just get the option 'open', not 'open with '.  I think that it may be trying to use a path or a program, but don't know how to change it.  Any suggestions?

It's weird, the Mail app does not keep a separate list of file associations, it should just pull some Manager by default is the type of file by name.  I agree with your idea, kill it and reinstall it and determine if it starts to behave properly.

  • Cannot open PDF files in Windows Live Mail.

    I recently got a new computer running Windows 7.  I have Windows Live Mail and have tried to open the 'pdf' files attached to e-mails.  When I try to open them I get an error message.  I downloaded the file in the file management section for Adobe and Adobe.  How to open a PDF file without first having to save it on my computer?

    HURT SO BAD!  I had the same problem - I tried the security options in Internet Explorer and Adobe, also the download of unassociate.exe that was put in place for users of Vista and used on the extension pdf without result.  IF YOU USE IT ON THE PDF AND PDFXML extensions, then open Adobe reader and click Help, repair drive installation it works!

    Obviously, you cannot run your life by saving just to open attachments... Adobe has no answers on their site and find the file unassoc.exe on this Microsoft forum was the closest, I arrived to find an answer. When I tried the process a second time, I saw the PDFXML extension just below the PDF extension and took a shot at it.

    Someone at Microsoft needs this fix to make accessible to all the users of Windows 7. I spent 3 hours on the phone with HP support, he tried the unassoc.exe and it did not work for him. I contact them to let them know about this - they put me on the phone with a Manager and he told me they had literally hundreds of phone calls about this.

  • Windows Live Mail 2012 request username and password

    Windows Live Mail 2012 never asked me user and password because it has been installed. After trying to send a photo from my Canon camera software after I had downloaded the images from the camera, asked for the username and password. Joined those from Microsoft. E-mail does not; It is in the Outbox. Choose the icon on desktop for Windows Live Mail 2012 and all contacts are gone. Email arrives, but can not send email. Need problem solved.

    If you try to use the Windows function send to > message recipient to send an image, you must be logged into Windows Live Mail. There is a bug in the program.

    When you are connected, you will see the contacts that belong to the Microsoft Account sign in to help. These are the same ones you see at http://people.live.com so sign here with the same account. If you are not signed in, you will see the default contacts list. There is no link between these different sets of contacts.

    To avoid the bug, start by opening a message compose window in Windows Live Mail (for example by pressing Ctrl-N), and then apply a Insert > single photo to insert an image or images in the body of your message, or attach a file to send in the form of attachments.

    If you are not able to send messages, please remove any message not sent from the Outbox, then compose a simple message, try again with a single topic and send it to yourself. Send the error message in your response.

    It is relatively simple as you use and that you want to use WLM.

    You will need to copy a folder from where it is (the old installation) to another place where you know it will be (for example on your desktop)

    The folder is c:\users\your user name\app data (if it is not there, see the note below) \local\microsoft\

    At that point you will see a folder named oddly enough "windows live mail" copy on your desktop

    If you don't see the app data because it is invisible atm.  To make it visible, you need to go to your control panel > folder options > view > change to hidden folders (see figure)

    Once you have mail backed up on your desktop (or where ever) drag the folder from the desktop to the location for the new WLM (once again we C;-... just like above).  Just make sure that WLM does not run in time.  What wont be imported, it of passwords and rules.

    Accounts and data should now be in the new WLM when you open it.

  • Windows Live Mail 2012 with Windows 7

    As some know, on or around 11 last December, Microsoft gave notice that:

    1. Windows Live Essentials 2011 is no longer supported.

    2. If you want to continue using Windows Live Mail 2012 to send/receive emails, it is necessary to install the latest update (as provided).

    My laptop and netbook running both Windows Live Mail 2011 simultaneously using two accounts: Hotmail email and Virgin.  Therefore, to be a good citizen I installed Windows Live Essentials 2012 on the machines and the last update (see above).  Maybe first of all I should have uninstalled WLE 2011 but I assumed WLE 2012 would "crush".  For sure WLE 2011 has disappeared from the list of programs.  To start 2012 WLM worked, but soon the following progression that has happened for the Hotmail account:

    1. deleted messages has duplicated.

    2 sending messages takes seconds to appear in the file sent (via Outbox) rather than be instantaneous.

    3 envoys arrested in sent folder (however shown as sent in Outlook on the MSN Web site) and kept a copy in the sent folder remains checked.

    4 Hotmail account ceased to receive messages.

    On behalf of Virgin continues to carry out overall as it should.

    I've restored my WLM 2011 netbook, which took over all of the missing e-mails.  I'll do the same thing with my laptop.

    Now, here's the thing.  My wife's cell phone came with WLM 2012 on the first day.  Of course, I applied the last update as a recommended MSN.  The same progression of deterioration is currently at above the stage 3 on his machine so his Virgin account is fine.  Is it possible that the "last updated" is the problem?  Or something to do with none that I changed the settings.

    More soon help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Well, you should.  Before, I had tried to fix "Essentials" and it did not work.  I tried again a few minutes ago and this time it worked.  Yee Ha! Merry Christmas.
