  Ouch! Please do not yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally,
  in different cases.

  Two points:

  1. to open a file (if you got by e-mail or in any other way) you
  need to have an appropriate program installed for it. Thus, for example,.
  to open a .pdf file, you must have Adobe Reader (or compatible)
  program such as Foxit Reader) installed.

  2. to have the appropriate program automatically opens when you click
  the file, you must have an association for it. There is more of
  a way to create an association, but here in the most simple way: find a
  program with the particular extension (for example .doc), right-click on
  it, select open with. Choose the default program. Make sure the box
  "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is
  checked, and then click the appropriate program (Microsoft Word, for example,)
  If it's a .doc file), navigation to him if necessary. Once you have done
  the association is created and in the future, you will be able to
  Open this type of file.

  So what types of files are these? What are their extensions - part
  of the filename after the dot at the end? If, for example, they are
  .pdf files, you have Adobe Reader or a compatible program like
  Foxit Reader (a better than Adobe Reader, in my opinion) installed?

• I can't open attachments of the e-mail account. When I try my computer turns off and restarts and when he comes back he says he recovered a serior error.

  A couple of days, I did a restore of the system at the end of July because the size of everything was off of the big time and had never done a system restore before.  Since I did, everything is returned to the way it was before sizes... and I can receive and send emails... I have JUST CAN NOT open attachments on e-mails.   When I click on the attachment to bring it up, it shuts my computer off and restarts it and when it turns on it says that it has recovered from a serious error.    How can I fix my email so I can set up attachments?

  What e-mail program?

• Why can't I open attachments by e-mail .wmv?

  Since the installation of Office 2010 (perhaps a little before...) I don't remember) I can't open attachments by e-mail with .wmv that I use for attachments, I think and I would be able to use it.  I went to create a folder, but it was already listed as one, so that will not solve the problem.  Anyone else having this problem?  How to fix?
  Thank you!

  When you tried to open wmv attachments and has not, have you an error message?
  If Yes, please post the message in its entirety... vrbatim please.

  Meanwhile, check to see if you have Windows Media Player, defined as a program to open the wmv files...

  Start > Default programs > associate a type of file or Protocol with a specific program > wait loading > under name, scroll to .wmv, click on it > look everywhere, under Default Current, it shoud say Windows Media Player...
  otherwise > click Change top program > scroll to find Windows Media Player and select it > click OK when finished. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• I can't open attachments Yahoo mail, but can in Internet Explorer. Tried all of the suggested fixes and nothing works.

  I tried all that on the previous thread for the same problem and I can not open attachments. I have no problem with attachments in Internet Explorer. It looks like a problem of FireFox for me.

  Whuch suggestions did you try? Here are two recent threads, I found:

  • Firefox 977835/questions/977835 used to download all attachments from yahoo, all other downloads work email
  • / issues/978924 Cannot open the pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

  Have you tried /questions/977835? page = 2 #answer-506091 (change the parameters of 'Complete' to 'Basic')?

  Are you accessing Yahoo Mail directly from https://mail.yahoo.com/ instead of via a bookmark? Edit: I see already suggested this and linked to another thread, philipp/issues/971042

• 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 open attachments to email with Extensions PowerPoint ppt or pps

  I can't open attachments with PowerPoint extensions ppt or PPS. I get the message 'set associatiions', but once you get to the set associations Control Panel I don't know what to do to make it work.  It says 'click on an extension to display the program that currently it opens by default. To change the default program, click program Chang. "When you do that, it tells shoose the program you want to use to open this file and offers a choice of Microsoft Office PowerPoint, Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer and Windows Mail or browse. Which of them should I open. I tried to see and nothing happens when I try to open the e-mail. What am I supposed to do at this point? I have Vista.

  For Powerpoint extensions. PPT or. PPS, you need to open these files with Microsoft Office Powerpoint. These will open in slide format.

  I can't open attachments ._DOC. I tried combining write, wordpad and others without success. I refused access to iexpl because of security settings. I have no WORD from the Office of M. advice?

  You must change the extension of the name of _DOC in just DOC. Then you will need a program to open the file; the free Word Viewer, as well as a compatibility pack, if needed, should do the job. How to obtain the latest Word Viewer
