Opening attachment

When you try to open an attachment that I sometimes: this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.  Create an association in the FOLDERS OPTION control PANEL.  It says in the window choose OPEN/CANCEL TYPE: unknown file Type.  How to create an association in the folders option control panel?
Thank you

  • I can longer open attached pdf files. I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.

    * Original title: attachments

    Help, please.

    I did something wrong (AGAIN!)

    I had no problem with access to attachments to my e-mails, but a problem occurred just.

    I can longer open attached pdf files.  I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.  When I click to open all the I get now is a kind of icon (in Microsoft Office Picture Manager) with which I can't do anything.

    It seems I should have arranged for Picture Manager automatically opens attachments to emails, but when this happens, I'm stuck as what I try, I can't do pdf files appear as they did.

    The help file does not really help.

    I hope it is something simple, even an old fool like me can do with your expert (and, I hope. friendly) help.

    My fingers are crossed.

    My apologies if I offended Protocol - this is my first venture.regards

  • 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:

  • ThinApped Lotus Notes 9.0 freezes after that opening attached PDF

    Hello world!

    I'm new in ThinApp environment, I hope someone can help me with a headache ThinApping Lotus Notes 9.0, here is my scenario:

    ThinApping App: Lotus Notes 9.0

    Capture Machine: Windows 7 x 64 on VMware Workstation 10.0.2

    Test computer: Windows 7 x 64 on VMware Workstation 10.0.2

    After the construction project and to test the application of thinapped it works fine until that opening any PDF file attached that brings the freezing point of Lotus Notes 9.0 and adobe reader (XI) two apps answer before killing adobe reader process "AcroRd32.exe".

    I tried to capture app in WriteCopy and mode of fusion, capture whitin outside domain machine, machine of capture with the local administrator account, capture and machine with the domain administrator account, but in all cases the result is the same, does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance!

    I thought that Lotus would have extracted the pdf attachment in the file folder before opening it, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Lines above are running in native mode, not Adobe Reader process virtually so its process is not able to access the content in the virtual bubble (this is why you have this error message with Adobe Reader).

    Try the following:

    -Remove the tray sand

    -Remove these lines from the package.ini:

    ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions = AcroRd32.exe

    ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault = virtual

    - Recompile the application (file build.bat)

    -Open Adobe Reader

    - Go in Edition > Preferences > Security (enhanced)

    -Uncheck "Activate the Mode protected at startup"

    -Click OK

    -Close Adobe Reader

    -Try to open a PDF with Lotus notes attachment again!

  • Button in Acrobat will not open attachment pdf on other computers.

    I made a button in Acrobat and had it linked to another pdf file that is my office. I can only open this file from my computer. Do I need to combine differently to make it work on other people's computers?

    How do you want this to work on someone else's computer has no

    the same file system as you have it and does not have the file that is linked to?

    If you want it to run on other computers your options are:

    -Embed the file in the PDF file as an attachment before you link to it.

    -Send the linked with the PDF file and make sure that they have the

    same location relative to another (preferably in the same folder)

    -Place the file on a web server and convert the link to a web link.

    It is true, I remember an update for IE 8 a few days ago - I have improved because it was necessary for some sports games, I was streaming online.  Now, I can't open my attachments via MSN, once again, not through windows, but MSN is.  What a pain!  I don't have time to save drive hardtop or office each file I open throughout the day - which is not a solution - it's a disservice!  (: Can you please make me scroll down how to uninstall IE8 and put in an earlier version.)  BTW, I tried to do a system restore to a few days ago and it failed and just say why error without reason

    Hello, KiwiCognac

    Please use the Forum for answers!

    You can uninstall Internet Explorer 8 by going to start, Control Panel, programs and features, updates the installed display, double-click Windows Internet Explorer 8 to start the uninstall program.

    This error message you get when you try to do a system restore?
    In addition, what is the error you get when you try to play videos?
