• Cannot open attachments in Outlook Express since I use recovery DVDs

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite on Windows xp. I had to run the dvd - rom product recovery he was really play it put out of service and all sorts of self is sorted now and is back to normal running.
  The only problem is now, when I try and open an attachment in my email, it says this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.

  Please can any one help I have sat here for hours and still not find a solution.

  Hello

  Well, after using the recovery CD all programs and other tools that you have installed on the portable computer have been removed.
  I guess you want to open a file of attachments in particular.
  In this case, you will need to choose a new application to open files.
  The easiest way is to right click on the file and choose open with. You can then choose the program which should open the file attachment.
  For example: txt file > editor or Notepad

• Cannot open emails from Outlook Express on Windows 7

  Original title: Outlook express on exploere8

  I just bought a new computer which has windows 7 and explorer 8 is installed, my old computor was an outlook express program that has lots of emails stored in it. I don't seem to be able to open these emails outlook express doesn't automatically come with explorer8?

  Outlook Express is an e-mail Client program.  Internet Explorer is a web browser.  They are completely different animals.

  Windows 7 computers lack any e-mail client program (unless the manufacturer of the computer or the seller has installed a). Therefore, you will need to download and install your own choice email client.

  Microsoft to promote Windows Live Mail, the free successor to Outlook Express.  You can download the program ofhttp://download.live.com.   WLMail belongs to the series of programs, Windows Live, which includes Windows Live Messenger, etc.. However, you just install the items you need.

  At present, there are two versions of WLMail available for download.  The latest stable version of the suite of programs live was "Wave 3"(version number 14.0.8117.0416).  However, you also have the option to install the version 'Wave 4' of the various programs.  I have no experience of the Wave 4 programs (which are beta (or test) releases), so cannot advise.

  Once you have installed WLMail, you will need to copy the messages from your old computer to Win XP files in a directory on your new Windows 7 computer.  Then, you will be able to open WLMail and click on file / import - import messages and other data.  With the version of Wave 3, the menu bar (which provides the file / edit / view / go / tools / Actions & help commands) is hidden by default.  To display the menu bar on an ad hoc basis, press Ctrl. To display the menu bar, click Alt and M together. Then, press M (or select "Show menu bar").

  You will find further instructions to the http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/importing-your-e-mail-contacts-and-calendar-into-windows-live-mail. However, a Google search led me to www.pcdon.com/080113OutlookExpress-WindowsLiveMail.html, which you can find easier to understand.

• Cannot open attachments in Outlook 2007

  Hi Kelly,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  Since this problem you encounter began after that windows update, you can use the System Restore tool to return your computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  Before you start Please back up your data

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  ·         Click Start, type System Restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  ·         In the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click on Next.

  ·         In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  ·         Click Finish.

  ·         The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  If it is an update, the best way to solve this problem is to apply only updates one at a time to determine which updates is causing this problem.

  Click on start-> all programs -> Windows Update. Click change settings in the left menu. Select download updates but let me choose whether to install them, click OK. When you are alerted to install a new update, this window, click on view available updates, uncheck all updates and select one at a time, install it, restart your computer, test and update. Once you find the update either continue to ignore it, or look for it at http://support.microsoft.com/.

  We hope this resolves the issue and look forward to hearing back from you on your results.

• Unable to send attachments in outlook express. HTML is selected and is therefore 'send pictures' recipient receives the text but not images?

  I am unable to send attachments in outlook express. HTML is selected and is therefore 'send pictures' recipient receives the text but not images?

  All security settings seem fine, an idea?

  Some messages do not conform to the standards of the Internet in the sense that they cannot be returned intact by their transmission.  The way around this is to use Message | Until the attachment, then they will be properly transmitted, since they will be attached.

  Hello

  1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?

  I suggest that you follow these steps and check to see if they help.

  Step 1:

  If the problem occurred recently, perform the System Restore to the point that your computer was working normally.

  Step 2:

  Test the issue in a new user account and check if the problem persists.

  3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
  4. click on: choose [default] program.
  5. Select: Adobe Reader.

• Cannot open attachments in firefox. OK in IE and iPhone and outlook

  When using firefox for the email, I'm now unable to open attachments. Happened over the last week, before that, it was fine and I have not changed any settings (that I know).

  I tried all the usual stuff of restart and looked at the settings as much as possible, but nothing jumps.

  Email attachments even open fine in outlook, since my iphone and in IE, but I prefer the firefox because I used to use it for so long now. In addition, old attachments that I opened in the past won't open.

  Never had any problems before with opening of attachments. All programs are affected - word, excel, pdf, etc.

  Thanks - Jacki

• All attachments in Outlook Express are too large to see

  Each attachment in Outlook Express is too large to see.

  When the photos are displayed in OE they are displayed full size...
  There is no way to constrain the size in pixel dimensions to fit
  the window of the OE. You can use the scroll bars to see the entire
  picture, but it's far from ideal.

  Best bet would be to copy attachments in a folder on
  your hard drive and view them with images of Windows and
  Fax Viewer.

  Just open the message that contains the attachment and
  Reach... File / save attachments. Choose a backup file and
  on the left, click on the "Save" button.
