  Two points:

  1. you must first be sure that you have an appropriate program installed

  Free PowerPoint Viewer? Otherwise, you must get one of these or some
  other compatible program.

  2. Once you are sure to have an appropriate program installed for
  This type of file, you must ensure that the association for this file
  type is properly configured. If following step 1 above means that you
  install a program, it will probably set up the association for
  you.
  If you have to set up the association yourself, in my opinion, will

• Problems of Windows Mail attachments

  Whenever I try to send a photo attachment - it automatically attaches a copy of the image in the body of the e-mail message and then refused to send the email - by saying: this is incorrect, and then it is blocked.  I can't yet answer to a message I get if there a photo attached; Help, please

  Hi Sheri Meyers

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I would like to ask a few questions to help us focus in the right place.

  1 how long have you been faced with this problem?

  2. If it works well before?

  3. may I know what mail client do you use?

  I have a few here that might solve the problem.

  I suggest to disable anti-virus and check if you can send emails with attachments.

  Step 1:

  If the problem persists, I would start the computer in safe mode with network and check if you are able to send emails with attachments, safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

  1 restart your computer if it is running.

  2. tap on the F8 key after your initially on powers computer.

  3. Once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.

  4. use the up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.

  5. Select Mode safe mode with networking and press ENTER.

  6. you should see loading drivers and wait please.

  7. you should then be at the Welcome screen.

  8. connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.

  More information: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx

   Let's see now if you are able to send mails with attachments, if you are able to send emails, go to step 2 to perform a clean boot on the computer.

  Step 2:

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  How to run check and clean boot if you have the problem.

  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  User account control permission

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  5. click on OK.

  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  If the problem is resolved, check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: Make sure to put the computer to a normal state in following step 7 in the above link

  You can check the link for create shortcuts for the programs on the desktop: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/52f853fe-de4d-4924-bfc0-0373fcf862391033.mspx

  Hope this information is useful.
  Let me know if it worked.
  All the best!

• CANNOT OPEN PDF & GIF ATTACHMENTS IN WINDOWS MAIL

  CANNOT OPEN PDF & GIF FILE ATTACHMENTS IN WINDOWS MAIL... VISTA

  What happens when you try? Error messages? If you save attachments, first of all, they open? Do you have a PDF Reader installed?

  Adobe is more "well known", but Foxit is much more compact and my personal preference.

• Windows Mail does not open an attachment with a .pdf file extension.

  When clicking on an attachment that ends with .pdf, I get an error message saying that there is no program assigned to this file type and head to "Define the Associations" in the Panel.  The problem I have is that the control panel for the Windows Vista operating system has assigned to this type of file Adobe and I have no way to access a control panel just for Windows Mail independently.  When you set the 'association '?

  Do this first.

  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:
  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. If you still have a problem, then it should take care of it for you.

• Saved attachments in Windows Mail do not appear in the actual file

  In Vista, using Windows Mail, attachments are saved to disk hard aren't really there.  It does not matter what type of file it is.  When you click on an attachment to a paperclip icon and navigate to the folder on the hard disk where you want to save the file, the file seems to save successfully.  But, when you go to this real folder through 'Computer', the file is not really there.  If you go back to the email and save it, it says that the file already exists (although looking at the file in a Windows Explorer window, it is not there).  If you save multiple attachments from Windows Mail to a folder, the record is displayed all files in this folder... but none are really there.  What is the problem here?

  My only guess is that some 3rd party program is screw things upwards.  You can check for antimalware, antispam, or antivirus software and see if that might be the problem (seewww.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  In OE, we suggest set you up a new identity, but it is not so easy in WinMail.  I guess you'll just to workaround it.  To ensure that the economy of attachment is selected under Tools | Options | Security also.

  We tried.  This is even if hidden files are marked to show or not.  It does not matter where you save the file in... it will not be displayed in a regular Windows Explorer window, or be seen by other software (for example, whether a file you want to import into a program).

  If you double-click the message to open it in its own window and drag the attachment to a Windows Explorer window, it save successfully and can be seen and used as usual.

• Windows Mail does not open attachments, cannot open the PDF, JPEG attachments.

  June 29, 2009
  PROBLEM OPENING JPEG AND PDF ATTACHMENTS TO EMAILS: CANNOT RUN COMMAND.  GET HELP FROM COMMUNITIES.

  I went to communities and found this answer:

  FIX ATTEMPT N ° 1

  > VISTA PROBLEM
  > To correct pass them: -.
  > Windows Mail
  > Tools
  > Options
  > Security
  > 2nd box should be empty (do not allow any parts attached to save or open
  (> likely to contain a virus)
  > Apparently things change on the updates we do not!
  > If it returns checkbox to display the iof has become checked again, otherwise get out
  > of windows mail, then go in again and it should be fine.

  I have done this and it does not solve the problem.

  ATTEMPT TO FIX N ° 2

  So I went to my Antivirus, Avira Antivirus program.
  and I changed:

  Configuration > CUSTODY > SCAN when READING and WRITING > USE FILE EXTENSIONS LIST >

  And here, in the list of extensions of files to analyze and prevent, I deleted the list: JPEG, JPG, PDF.

  This does not solve the problem.

  FIXING NO. 3

  I also run the new MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS BETA.

  went to MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS (BETA). SETTINGS > EXCLUDE FILE TYPES > and added *.jpeg and *.pdf

  There was no change, when I tried to open the PDF attachment, I always received: "command failed implementation.

  FIXING NO. 4

  (By the way, I have nothing better to do in my office on Monday morning held that fix this bug for MSFT).

  I removed IE 8 on my system and actually removed all IE from my system, I'll stick with Mozilla.

  No change.

  CORRECTION ATTEMPT N ° 5

  I finally found an electronic bulletin board and followed the suggestions to save the file to my desktop and then
  Open with Adobe and it worked well.

  WHY CAN'T I OPEN JUST JOINED MS MAIL?

  OK, I found another thread with an answer that works.

  Why this answer doesn't work, I have idea of NF.

  Instead of opening the e-mail from a shortcut program, on the desktop and open the e-mail program on the start menu to:

  Go to: all programs, then select Microsoft Mail.

  Then the attachments will be opened.

  It worked for me, it's worth a try.

  Good luck to you.  I know that's no fun.

• 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...
