Does not open attachments in Mail

Hello

I am trying to solve a problem for a friend,

in Windows Mail on Vista my friend is not able to open the attachments for example. .PDF, .doc, .xls, etc., if they try to save the first attachment is said that there is not enough disk space, when I checked, there were 120 GB of free space left.  All the Windows updates were installed and Service Pack 1 & 2 were installed, Windows Security Essentials is installed and up to date and I tried to install Windows Live Mail and the same thing happens, I checked all the file extensions are assigned to the correct programs, I checked that in Mail security settings do not block attachments.  Attachments used to work, but he stopped about a month ago.  Any suggestions on how to solve this problem. Thank you.

Where can I find setting, as I'm sure that, in respect of the security in Windows Mail I unchecked something to do with not opening attachments that could be a risk of virus.

I overlooked the fact that your friend uses Microsoft Security Essentials.
My suggestion 'disable electronic mail analysis' does NOT here apply.
My apologies.

I don't know why your friend is such a problem.
I can only suggest that the account in question is corrupted...
Go to Windows Mail > tools > accounts > click this account > delete.
Now recreate this account.
Note: you can copy down the settings first before deleting the account.

    WHY CAN'T I OPEN JUST JOINED MS MAIL?

    OK, I found another thread with an answer that works.

    Why this answer doesn't work, I have idea of NF.

    Instead of opening the e-mail from a shortcut program, on the desktop and open the e-mail program on the start menu to:

    Then the attachments will be opened.

    It worked for me, it's worth a try.

    Symptom

    When you open one. PPS file as an attachment in Windows Mail, you can see the Open / Cancel dialog box. When you select open, the following error message may appear:

    This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the set Associations control panel.

    This can happen even if you have the viewer PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 installed. However, the same file may open correctly when saved to disk and then seen. Note that this problem will not occur if you have Microsoft Office or PowerPoint installed.

    This article applies to Windows Vista, with the PowerPoint 2003 Viewer or PowerPoint Viewer 2007 is installed. For a version of Windows XP in this article, see article cannot be opened. PPS directly from Outlook Express attachments?

    Cause

  • Addition of Google Chrome, now Safari does not open, impossible to link electronic mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Add Google Chrome, now Safari opens Cannot link e-mail links.  Just received message "Safari is closed."  Tried deleting 3rd party add ons. Is went into preferences, Safari is the default browser, but it does not open.

    Third party extension and plug-ins?

    If Safari is slow, unresponsive, which closes unexpectedly, or has other issues

    The problem may be caused by a Safari Extension, Internet plug-in or another add-on.

    The safari Extensions, Internet plug-ins, and other modules are designed to improve or customize the browsing experience. Modules are widely available on the Internet, and some are installed as part of an application or other software. If you have Add-ons installed, an add-on might be at the root of the issue.

    If the problem is the unwanted pop-up windows, advertisements and graphics while surfing on the web, discover how to remove the ad-injection (adware) from your Mac software.

    Disable the Safari Extensions

    You can disable Extensions Safari to learn if all are causing the problem.

    1. In the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
    2. Click the Extensions icon, and then select an extension from the list.
    3. Uncheck the box enable disable this extension.

    If turning off an extension solves the problem, look for updates of the extension by clicking Update in the lower left corner of the window. Or remove the extension by clicking on the button uninstall.

    Remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons.

    You can remove Internet plug-ins and other add-ons to see if everything is the origin of the problem. To find them, quit Safari and open these folders in library:

    • The library folder at the top level of your hard drive. Open it from the Finder by choosing go > go to folder in the menu bar. Then type /Library and then click OK.
    • The record library in your home folder. Open it by organizing the Option while choosing go > library in the menu bar.

    The folders in the library contains the following folders for modules. Move all the files in these folders to the trash.

    • Internet Plug-Ins
      Do not remove the default Browser.plugin, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Composer.webplugin of Quartz or QuickTime Plugin.plugin.
    • Input methods
    • InputManagers
    • ScriptingAdditions

    If the removal of the files in these folders solves the problem, quit Safari again and gradually put the files until you find the one at the origin of the problem:

    1. Open the Recycle Bin and select one of the files that you removed. Chose file > back up. The file back to its folder.
    2. Open Safari and see if the problem returns.
      • If the issue is returned, you have identified the add-on causing the problem. Do not use or contact its manufacturer for an updated version.
      • If the question does not return, quit Safari and put back another file.

  • Change of privilege HD now Mac Mail does not open

    Couple of questions, self-inflicted:

    I changed the privilege HD read-only for everyone no access and then click on "apply to the included items. I released on bail after a few minutes, change my mind with a reboot. I now get the re-boot, the pop-up "library should be rebuilt to open applications. I keep having to enter my PW for this.

    In addition, Mac Mail now does not open. It is a big problem and I don't know where to start.

    I repair permissions. Is there an easy way to return to the previous default permissions and privilege by default to make things work as they were before?

    Can you make a different Get Info and change everyone else read-only?

    First try and see if that fixes the Mail. If this is not the case, here are a few ideas more troubleshooting.

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.
