Cannot read .pps (powerpoint) attachments of my Windows Mail.

I can't open my Windows Mail program PowerPoint presentations.  It will work only after that I have save to another folder and read it from there.  Why they will not open directly from the Windows Mail program?  And Yes, my default program for .pps is the PowerPoint.exe file.

Thank you, Bruce.  I just found this link on this same post, I did in January.  I had forgotten about it.  The problem is my neighbors computer, not mine.  It just reminded me of the problem again.  I use Thunderbird, so I couldn't T/S on my computer.  Thanks again.

  • 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.

    Hi JerryHunt,

    1. when the files located?

    2 are you able to attach this file in other emails?

    3. How do you attach the file? Are you trying to drag-and - drop?

    You can try through the interface and try to drag and drop the file.

    You can also try to change the location to save the file. You can save to a different location and also save by using a different file name. Try to attach the file in Windows mail, then check if it works.

  • Windows Live Movie Maker cannot read a particular DVD title while Windows Media Player and VLC can.

    I use WL Movie maker to convert DVD titles/chapters/files .vob in a readable WMV format for consumption on my Windows Phone for later viewing. The DVD is open and has no right of use of media and every other title/chapter on the disk except for this one, I've converted using Movie Maker.

    Windows Media player and VLC Media player can read without problem. Can I also hidden the specific section (and high school) with Divx Plus Converter in Divx format, but Movie Maker can not identify/read the article and simply extract 14-minute shows with nothing in it, even though it has about 25 minutes. Video player can read more about the chapter that is the second vob related file in the section.

    I feel it is a problem with Movie Maker and its algorithms have encountered a scenario where he lost his mind, because I have to kill the Movie Maker, because never happens to expire.

    Is this something where I can send a copy of the image to MS to get trying to fix an error reported to Microsoft Connect, or this there something I can try locally?

  • Series cannot read on laptop sticker to activate Windows 7

    I can't activate Windows 7 because I can't read my code serial number on my cell phone /activation.  I bought this laptop directly from Lenovo and I was the sole owner of it. The code is authentic, just can not read more.

    I had to reinstall windows 7 with lenovo disk backup provided and now I can't activate windows.

    Is it possible that Microsoft or Lenovo can retrieve this series?

    If you use the floppy recovery Lenovo that you shouldn't have to enter a key. The manufacturer disks set includes the embedded in the files issued specifically to Lenovo license key. If the installation routine asks for a key then it is not the game of the good disk. Manufacturer of charges are previously authenticated using privileged license and do not require activation of the line.

    Microsoft have not save which COA license is issued to each computer, they are provided to the manufacturer as a block and they apply to the label. In theory, Lenovo should be able to match key that was issued to this serial number, but in practice, few manufacturers will provide the information

  • Windows media player cannot read my compilation of Director of windows

    I did a film of three short films and I wanted to play in windows media player, but it doesn't seem to work! who can give me some advice about this?

    The error that you received indicates that one or more
    your source files are not compatible with the film
    Manufacturer or are corrupt. It happens frequently when
    MPEG video files are used, but this can happen with
    other formats also.

    See the following article:

    Movie Maker 2 - Import MPEG files
    http://www.Papajohn.org/mm2-importing-video-MPEG2.html

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    The solution is to convert the video clips of the. WMV
    format before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster download)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup295.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag > FFSetup295.exe< out="" of="" the="">
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...
