Dccuments PDF sent by email are switched to docs in Windows Media Center by clicking on send

This just started yesterday.  An ordinary red PDF attachment that I add to my email seems normal and ready to send email in Windows Live Mail.  When I click on send, something happens that changes the attachment PDF of an attachment of Windows Media Center.  When I check the sent items I find the attachment is now a green oval on a white page with color logo four windows in the middle.  When I click on this attachment, opens a window of Windows Media Center in dark blue.  Here, I see a list of items to click on, such as DVD, images, videos, films and TV.  My PDF attachment is over.

Because I can't see my PDF document, I expect that the recipient of my email also does not receive it.

No idea why this is happening?  My computer has been hacked?  What is the result of a malicious virus?

I did a scan of my computer and have found no threat or unusual events.

Hi David,

You did changes to the computer before the show?

Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article: back up the registry in Windows 7

Method 2: The question could also be due to the virus on the computer. I suggest you run online virus scan on the computer to make sure that the computer is not affected by the virus.

Microsoft safety scanner
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: when you perform online virus scanyou will lose some data which are affected by the virus. Microsoft is not responsible for the loss of this data.

If the problem only occurs with Windows live mail, so I suggest you to report in Windows live support forums.

Come back and let us know the State of the question, I'll be happy to help you. We, at tender Microsoft to excellence.

    jerryedgar,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

    To open a pdf file, you must have the Adobe Acrobat reader software installed on your computer.  This is a free program that can be downloaded from Adobe here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ remember you select the operating system and the version that you have installed on your computer.

    Once you have Adobe Acrobat reader is installed, all you have to do is double click on the file name to open it.

  • Switching providers using Windows Media Center

    I've been using Windows Media Center as a DVR with Verizon FiOS for a couple years now, but I'm going to switch service providers soon to Optimum to save money. WMC will recognize that there is a new cablecard immediately and ask me to put up? In addition, regarding the records currently, they continue to operate even after the switch?

    1. you will need to re-run the TV installation for the EPG again and you will need to get
    the new cablecard paired with your tuner.
     
    2. I had replaced dying standards from the same provider without loss of the
    ability to display existing records. I hope that you will have no problems.

    All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode.   When I go to my pictures and choose view as thumbnails, that's fine, but when I click on the individual photo, it shows on the screen no video not in mode full screen and I can't move the photo to the photo without closing the video screen.  How can I get my pictures on Windows Media Player?

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

    Hello

    Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

     
    It seems a problem with missing or damaged system files. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
    Method 1:
    Let flow the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps.
    Microsoft security scanner: http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.
     
    Method 2:
    Run the scan tool (SFC) System File Checker and check if it helps.
    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
     
    Method 3:
    Try to create a new user account and check if it helps.
    Create a user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows-vista/Create-a-user-account  
    If the problem is resolved in the new user account, this means that the old user profile is damaged. Here is the link to repair a user account damaged: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
