My parents send us attachments on their email. We have always been able to open them until recently... why

We have no harm to our email of the opening of their loved ones in the past. Now since a few weeks we are unable to open attachments to read.

What has happened is IE9 got installed by Windows Update and it hides messages with attachments.  Its a bug in Vista.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#15 for workarounds.  Try to open the message by clicking twice and you will then see the attachment.

  • I can't open attachments in my email address. They are trying to open in Adobe and it says file is not supported.

  • A service provider send invoices as PDF and for 8 months, I am unable to open them. Company only I have a problem, can anyone help?

    HI trying to access pdf of simple energy service provider bills (have adobeX) and 8 months do not have as a guard, saying that the file is damaged. Company has said that it is my end, but do not know what to do. His single pdf can't open?

    Just got another new copy of the PDF of the same provider and did as you suggested again, the PDF attachment to email click right and save the link on the desktop and then went to Adobe reader and made of the open folder and WOW he opened. Lesson is never open attachment from this provider with the link recording first, then go to Adobe Reader 2nd and opening through Adobe Reader file.

    It is therefore likely to be my system, and if I'm not the process you suggest that before any other process will damage the file at the time that I open it. I will consider this resolution if it never happens again with all the other PDF files sent to me, but he still only has this one supplier. Thank you for your help, cheers, Annie

  • The menu bar > file > open the element recent why only a few catalogs show their way?

    I use Lightroom 5.3. When I go to the menu bar > file > open recent item only a few catalogs show their way. How can I make sure that all catlogs will show their passage here? I've attached a screen so you can see what I mean.Screen Shot 2014-04-07 at 1.33.37 PM.png

    I would have thought that Lightroom shows that the full path to a catalog when there is more than one catalog name (so that you can differentiate)... where the recent catalogs have unique names, it is not necessary to the full to display path.

  • Able to send but not receive by email POP account

    This is my web mail from GoDaddy account POP all of a sudden, I get the error message that my account login is not recognized. This only effects radio. I can send emails without problem. I tried with the support of GoDaddy, but they could not understand, this isn't a server problem on their end.

    It's my business account and the Iim get desperate

    I have the same problems as well. I called GoDaddy support. They say they have been making a lot of calls in this the last two days. I was told that there is a problem with the captain El security and mac mail can't pop. The solution was to create a new Mac with IMAP e-mail account and simply wants to another POP account for the search.

    I've also found that some people have unchecked "automatically detect and manage account settings" in the Advanced section of the preferences mail for pop e-mail.  Save the changes when you close the Mail preferences, and everything should be good.

    I have not tried yet, as I have always been with IMAP and Windows and Android. But all my colleagues are using Mac.

    Looks like something aside server.  Not to mention that change IPs and when you go to IPv6, the whole game changes.

    What email client you use that gives you this option now?

    You can block entire domains...  (Outlook in any case, not sure about the rest.)
