Cannot open attachments in Windows Mail

Can not open attachments [such as wmv.] in Windows Mail
Unless I first save the attachment and then open it from the location of the saved file. After that attachments can be opened in WM until the next time I start the PC. Then I do the routine save - open again.
Help, please
Thank you

Try this, instead of open Windows Mail on the part of the shortcuts to quick launch or desktop, or in the Start Menu, start it from "start |" All programs | Windows Mail' and see if your attachments open.  There is a recurring problem between Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Mail that causes this and many people have been able to resolve the question drinking from Windows Mail in this way.  These discussions have a lot more information:

Vista, IE8, Windows Mail, can not open attachments
Microsoft Word attachments to e-mail
Windows Mail does not open attachments, cannot open the PDF, JPEG...

  • Can not down load programs cannot open attachments in windows mail

    When I try and download a program it down then charges disappears disappeared. Also in Windows mail I try and open an attachment and it starts to open then went it does nothing. I posted this message once before, and somebody said to go back to internet explorer 7 and uninstall internet explorer 8 I did. It has not corrected the problems, so a few days later I went back to I.E.8. I have all the Vista undates installed including service pack 1 and 2.

    Someone said to just reinstall Vista with the disk I got from Dell with my computer, but that didn't work. To the low laoded all files, and then when he went to develop he got 27 percent and stopped while I had to close and the computer went baclk to my old settings.

    I'm not good at this stuff and I am quite at a loss to know where to go or what to do.

    I tried to look for problems in the way that someone told me to and he said that some files were corrupt, but when I tried to find out which he says I didn't have permission to view this list.

    After hours of searching I found the problem. I got 8.5 AGV antivirus installed and tried to upgrade to AVG 9.0, something went wrong and he fucked up eveything. Fortunately, AVG Web site had heard of this problem and it had a fix for this. Now everything is back to working perfectly. I hope this answer helps someone else. It was a blind luck that I found the problem that I am not at all computer.

  • Help, please! Cannot open attachments in Windows Live Mail.

    I use Windows 7, Windows Live Mail, and Malwarebytes/Anti-Malware security. The error message says I need to change the security settings to open the attachments. (Adobe files or other.) How do I do that? Please notify.

    Malwarebytes prevents you to open attachments, windows live mail will be, the security settings are in your profile page, if they are approved contacts, select always open attachments from trusted senders, or add them to your approved sender list, options and more options review and adjust your settings, malwarebytes invite you when these attachments act as a virus or malware.

    Windows live mail has problems, my recommendation is low grade of live hotmail, fewer problems like that and not hotmail or another.

  • Cannot open attachments in Windows Live Mail on Windows 7

    I bought a new Windows 7 machine, a few days ago (July 12, 2013).  I installed Windows Live Mail and uploaded (with limited success at best) messages from Outlook Express in WL.  I uninstalled McAfee and installed and activated Norton.  Then I started using WL email today.  I have received a few messages with Word attachments.  I can not open them with a double-click or with right click then click on 'open '.  I can not print them.  When I try, nothing happens.  I can save to a folder and then open them, but it's a great nuisance.

    Surprising oddity: I think THAT I managed to open the first attachment that I received.  I know that I looked at, and I don't remember any problem.  But I can to open it (the email with the attachment is still in my Inbox queue), or any other accessory.  It is a particular idea to any aspiring detective software!

    In the windows of forum I see that others have had similar problems, and no one could help you after several tries.  Is this just a problem with WL?

    Good luck.

    FWIW, I used Outlook Express for years. When I got this Win7 machine, I tried WLMail 2009, which was "pre Ribbon toolbar" and I did not like much for her. 2011 is a disaster. I switched to Thunderbird and I am very happy with it.
