  • Cannot open the .eml attachments in Windows Live Mail

    I saw messages from November 2009 on WLM failed to open .eml attachments. Work on this problem for 2 weeks, using chat rooms, forums, tips, suggestions, etc... SO... why won't WLM open all .eml attachments I get? Had lots of advice, but none worked so far. Yet, many people are able to get to work there. When I try something, as many times the path suggested I am unable to do.  It's almost as if I had another computer than others.  Thank you.

  • Cannot open an attachment pdf from windows live mail, they are opened in word

    Until last week, I don't have any problems at the opening of pdf files for attachments in my email, now, they are open automatically in word, which does not work.   Yes I have the adobe reader software, and yes I have fixed and repaired the adobe reader software.  I tried to find where in the settings are the default settings for e-mail, but unfortunately could not find mail.  I saw in the previous forums it seems to be a current problem.  I don't want to save each attachment to the office where I can open it with adobe, nor do I want to change to Foxit reader as I have no problems so far.  I think there may have been a problem with updates.  There, can someone help me.

    Thank you very much

    I ordered the creative cloud Sunday and received a number control but still cannot open any programs. When I check the status of my order online, he says that he can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried to ask in a chat instead of the forum window, but no one answered and after 10 minutes, my screen restarted and closed window cat.

    Now, for about a week, I can always load/enter in my Gmail account, but cannot open any mail (new or old) when using Firefox (38.0.5), while being able to do this in safari (5.1.10) or chrome (43.0.2357.124). I use OS X 10.6.8.
    I hope someone can help me out - thanks in advance!

    Someone (else) has suggested a disconnect and the again - it worked!
    My apologies to taking you the trouble.

  • When I press any button on the Windows Live toolbar, I am re-directed to the website of go.microsoft.

    I DON'T THINK IT'S MALICIOUS SOFTWARE OR OTHER, I REALLY THINK THAT IT IS IN YOUR HOME (MICROSOFT) WITH SOME PROGRAMS OR WHAT WENT WRONG.

    ANY PARAMETER ON THE INTERNET OPTIONS PAGE IS NO HELP SO CAN'T THERE GO.
