opening attachment hp compaq Windows 8.1

I'm not too hot on my laptop because of my age, I guess. I hope someone can help. Don't know what I did wrong, but

Although previously, I was able to open attachments to my e-mails, all of a sudden I can't. I have rec'd an attachment

which is a PDF invoice and when I click on it to open it I get a box titled 'view downloads-internet exporer' Andin this box

There's several files called invoice PDF with boxes to leave the choice of 'open' or ' Save. I assume that there is more of the same I tried in vain several times to open in different ways. But according to the box I click nothing happens. There is also a box at the foot of the box with an option to clear the list, but clicking it has no effect. I don't seem to get this kind of thing since I got Windows 8. I am sure that there is nothing wrong with my laptop and it will be that I may have changed something inadvertently, I tred removing this box and the files listed in it, but I was not able to do it anymore. It's so annoying that I have to be able to get to my attachments

Thanks in advance

Hello

The default PDF reader that comes with Windows 8.1 is not the right product. Please use the real one: download Adobe Reader and install on your computer, it's free:

  • I created a link to an attachment, but it supports the complete PDF file, how do I open in a new window?

    I have about 30 PDF documents attached to my main document. When I click on links, the attached document takes up the entire screen. I want it opens in a new window when I click on it, how do I do this?

    Yes, it is possible. Right click on the link using the Add or change the link, and then select Properties.

    Go to the Actions and change the link "Go to a page in another document" action

    Under "Target Document", you will see an option called "open in". Define as 'New window' and press OK.

    You'll have to make it a link both, unfortunately, unless you use a tool to set all links at the same time to behave this way.

  • Save/open/attach window auto-développe folders, thrown off the coast of the mouse click

    Every time that I save or open a file in Windows 7 (save as or open box that opens), the left of the folders Panel shifts suddenly when I click because it extends records one or two seconds after the box opens, causing me to misclick or have to scroll again. It happens every time, even though I am now the scrollba. I have Favorites and records office, main and that is scanning it develops computer and network. It's so frustrating. I just want to be opened or closed from the way they were (or closed if he must analyze) so it moves.

    Is there a way to fix this, or just show favorites expanded or something that prevents this change suddenly?

    Yes, right click on an empty spot and uncheck the option "expand":

  • I tried to open a bookmark and its opening in an active window, such as an image, not a separate tab or window. What is going on?

    I had problems with Firefox hanging (seems related to Flash on a particular Web site). During his last hours of troubleshooting, including on the phone with the assistance of my ISP, it was recommended I "Refresh" of Firefox. I've done it before, and I did it yesterday again. This morning I opened Firefox to my homepage (my ISP Portal), checked my email, disconnected from the email, this tab closed, open two other forums and Photobucket - three tabs open in the window - to post pictures and contribute to the discussions in the forums. Once completed, I've disconnected from forums and Photobucket, each firm separately tab, and then quit Firefox. (While in Photobucket, Flash has crashed several times... but this is not unusual with Photobucket in my experience. It's a different problem, I always deal with... but he immediately forgets...) As part of "Refresh" yesterday, I set Firefox to clear the cache and cookies and other files to quit.

    Later in the day today, I opened Firefox, portal of my ISP opened as usual and expected (my "Home page"). Sometimes, instead of close the window/tab, I just open a bookmark and it will open in the same window, but by replacing the previous window and its contents. I.e. the procedure normal functioning for me. You know, rather than having two windows open where I have to close one, I have just the bookmark opens instead of the original content of the window.

    Today (and it happened before today, but rarely), open the bookmark page as if it was a picture in the active window... otherwise said, my ISP Portal occupies about 3/4 of the window, but more on the left side of the window (not another tab or a window, but in the same window) is a thin view bookmark page. This new web page - quite foreign to the original page - has a scroll down bar, but can be made to fill the window... the previously opened web page acts as a barrier to the pleasure of the 'new' image/web page. While I can understand the right border of the "new framework" and drag it to the right, he still cannot push the 'old' web page of origin of the road... the old page reached a minimum limit and I get a split screen of two completely different websites mode contained in exactly the same active window.

    The 'new' frame has an 'x' at the top right, so I could close... but my question is, why it is opened in web page/window...how from a completely different company can two web pages from completely different organizations/companies/websites are the same active window in Firefox? I have... attached screenshots. And, oh yes, not to mention that the HOW and WHY, how can you prevent (or is the best thing to just right click and open in a new tab or window...?) Which is not always convince me... I am someone who needs to know WHY something happened that should not have happened. It drives me crazy when something strange happens and the 'solution' is to change MY behavior. (You know, like if YOU were the problem, but I need to change MY behavior Instead of correct what's wrong with YOU... When YOU could make all of the obsolete situation.)

    Thanks for everything you can suss out...

    You can check this bookmark in bookmarks (library) Manager and expand the details pane by clicking the button more.

  • Compiled executable does not open in a larger window

    I have attached a jpg showing the VI properties that relate to the size of the window.  Despite the fact that I indicated in Run - Time Position - Position: maximized.  The compiled executable will not open in a maximized window.

    Still unknown, if I take the shortcut to the program and change its properties (on the target machine) open it is enlarged, it still does not maximized.

    I had this problem with each executable compiled for a few years using the LabVIEW 8 versions, 2010, 2011 and currently 2011 SP1.  The build machine and the target machine are Windows XP.

    Y at - it an explanation for this behavior?  Some way to fix this?

    Unless you have a specific reason not to, you can set the properties of execution Run vi when Opened and which should maximize the window.

    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.

  • whenever I click on anything, whether it will open in a new window? Why is this

    whenever I click on anything, whether it will open in a new window? Why does.

    You have virus/worm on your system or you accidentally change the folder options

    For the 2nd case Panel Contorl GoTo-> Folder Options (or tools-> Folder Options Menu) and in general files category, select tab "open each folder in the same window.

    For the 1st case, you need to clean your system by installing an antivirus on your system or get it cleaned by attaching it to any other system running the anitivirus software.

  • PDF link open in a new window

    My 'main' PDF, how can I view a pdf attached (or incorporated) link in a new window? Currently, the link opens in the same window as the main pdf file. I chose 'go to page mode' and look at a new window is not an option.

    I'm not sure I understand. Looks like you want to create a link to the document to the other PDF documents that are included as attachments to the main PDF file. Is this fair? If so, where you have "Highlight the attachment link" above, I would say that this should be "open one of the attached PDF files and navigate to the desired page. After you press the "Set" button, the link is created. If now go you back to the main PDF document and change the link (properties > Actions > access a page in another document > Edit) there should be a menu drop-down "open in" as stated above. If you do something else, post again.
