I can't open .docx from windows mail files

I am using mail to windows Vista and office 2007 installed but .docx cannot be opened directly from the email. It gives me the error message no program association defined. Association of program is set for Word 2007 open .docx files. I can 'slot' and 'open with' Word 2007. Any ideas?

HUMAN RESOURCES

Create a file association.

1. download and save the attachment to the office.
2. right click on the saved file.
3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
4. click on: choose [default] program.
5. Select: MS Word.
6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
7. click on OK.

This should allow you to open these attachments directly from email address now.

    You are is Windows Vista Home version. Open Internet Explorer and click Help | Everything. You get the error message is a known problem with IE8, although I thought that was patched.

    1: Download the zip file. Right-click | Extract all. Click on the result and run it. You will see buttons for compact and repair the database.

    2: click the icon in the Notification area to open the program. You will need to look around, after that, as I'm not familiar with the details about moy.

    3: click Start, and then stop. When the computer is turned off completely, press the power button to restart.

  • Export the contacts from Windows Mail in a single folder

    Original title: How can I export contacts from Windows Mail in a single folder. It seems that export all? Help!
    Trying to export contacts to a folder only in gmail, but cannot select one.

    Hello

    There is no option in Windows Mail to export a specific contact group.
    You can export all contacts to Excel and edit/print as you wish.
    Follow these steps to export the Windows Mail Contacts to Excel:
    a. open Windows Contacts by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Contacts.
    b. on the toolbar, click on export and then click on the CSV format.
    CSV (Comma Separated Values). It is a format of generic file used to export or import information to and from databases or spreadsheets.
    c. click Export, select a folder where you want to store your contacts in the new format and then click OK.
    d. when a message appears telling you that the contacts export process is complete, click OK and then click Close.

  • I opened a word from Windows Mail document, changed using Word 2007, you press on save and close the document. Now I can not find where he saved.

    original title: Windows Mail ate my file

    I opened a word from Windows Mail document, changed using Word 2007, you press on save and close the document.  Now I can not find where he saved.  I tried the search function in Vista, but it can not find the file either.  I tried to re - open the file in the email, but I just get the original version.  Can anyone suggest where it might be?

    Thank you very much

    Once you open a Word attachment in an email, you must save it to your HARD drive until you make changes. If you do not, the changes are lost, but the original attachment is still with the e-mail.

    Hi people,

    I have just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on Vista Ultimate.  I know that Windows 7 does not support Windows Mail, so I need to switch to Outlook or Windows Live Mail.  I can't get Windows Live Mail with Yahoo (and Yahoo can help people).  On the other hand Outlook does not support the focus groups.

    I want to spend my email from Windows Mail in Outlook.  I can't find Windows Mail.  Any suggestions, tips ect. would be most appreciated. Shane

    Hi Shane,

    Thanks for posting. Windows Mail is no longer included in Windows 7. Now, Windows Live Mail is the customer, you can use Microsoft to your e-mail. You can install Windows Live Mail from the link below.

  • How can I copy files from Windows Mail (Vista PC) of my drive external segate to my PC Windows 7?

    I have my backups on my external drive Seagate Free Agent of my old PC of Vista Windows that died. How can I transfer my files from Windows Mail, photos and other files to my laptop which has Windows 7 from my external hard drive. I used Windows Backup and Restore to create my backup files.

    Thank you for your help.

    File messaging in windows 7 does not work. So even if you copy the files etc on win7, windows mail usually run in Windows 7

    There are sites with copies of windows mail that you can use it on Win7 (including the reg files), so it will work properly

  • Can not send mail from Windows mail

    I tried to send an email from Windows Mail test to my email account to see if the e-mail works. I get an error message.

    The error message says "the connection to the server failed. Subject 'Test', account: 'Windows Mail', server: 'smtp.aol.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port 25, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 10551, error number: 0x800CCC0E.

    Thanks for your help

    Probably because AOL does not use port 25 for SMTP. These instructions tell Outlook Express, but they are the same for WinMail.

  • 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...

  • How can I import groups of Windows Mail contacts in Windows Live Mail?

    I work in a small office where we have computers running Windows Vista and using Windows Mail (version 6.0.6000.16388).  We have hundreds of contacts and a few contact groups on these computers.

    A few months ago, we got two new computers running Windows XP and Windows Live mail (version 2009, version 14.0.8089.0726).  Other computers at the office always have Vista and the other version of Windows Mail.

    I was able to export our hundreds of contacts and import them into Windows Live Mail for new computers have all the contacts... but I was unable to find a way to import groups.

    These groups are all very large and comprise mostly/entirely out of contacts that do not have individual contact entries.

    I've been Googling for a solution to this problem.  The page nearest you, that I could find was this:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/3818-Windows-Live-Mail-import-Vista-contacts-contact-groups.html

    I was very discouraged when I saw the big red warning to the top of the page:

    ---------------
    In the Groups of Contact with Vista, only contacts who are also included as normal Contacts will be imported into Windows Live Mail. Contacts that have been created for the Contact Group only will not be imported into Windows Live Mail. You will need to write these down and add them manually in Windows Live Mail.
    ---------------

    This pretty much described my situation exactly, but manually going through all groups, write all contacts, and then import them manually into two separate machines should always and is simply not an option.

    Are there really no other way I can get these groups into Windows Live Mail?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!

    I have not actually tried this, but I think this method will work.

    1. get a free Live ID (or @hotmail.com or @live.com).

    2. install Windows Live Mail on Vista computer. During the installation, it will offer to signature with a Live ID. Do.

    3. the first performance of Windows Live Mail, it will be important to all contacts from Windows Mail. Give him enough time to synchronize all contacts with the web version of this Live ID.

    4. open Windows Live Mail on the new computer and then connect with the same Live ID. The automatic synchronization process will transfer in all contacts of the web version of this Live ID.

  • Import e-mail messages from Windows mail to outlook 2007

    I damaged an old laptop and the hard drive is now in a case that I can access via USB.

    I want to transfer my emails from WIndows Mail in the old hard drive to Outlook 2007 into my laptop current. How to do this please?

    Hi Tony,.

    You can always open Windows mail? In this case: the open, select the e-mail messages you want to copy, create a folder on a USB or other portable device, paste messages, transport the unit, open, select all the messages and copy it (ctrl + c), then paste in Outlook.

    The official way would be: file, import and Export Wizard. But I'm sure you will all future posts.

  • I want to spend again from Windows mail to ATT/Yahoo mail

    I want to move backward from Windows mail to ATT/Yahoo mail because when I try to send an email, I get an error message that the pop and smtp server addresses are not recognized.

    You can not only go using your Yahoo Webmail as before?

    You cannot "get rid of" Windows Mail, but you can DELETE the account that you tried to put in Windows Mail.
    Open Windows Mail > in the menu bar above, click on tools > accounts > click this account ATT > click DELETE.
