    "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred

    I can always save the files, but then I have to delete them (and it's just a hassle). Any help would be appreciated!

    Do not have an anti-virus. However, I understood what the problem was!

    It seems that he was not really affecting all attachments, simply *.pdf files (I did not know it since I usually get pdf attachments only).

    The problem is that my default pdf reader has been set on a plug-in that was not working. I changed it and all is well.

  • I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

    If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?

  • Unable to print only one page in a multiple page / image tiff file using Windows Photo Gallery

    IT seems that for Windows Vista Photo Gallery is able to display multiple images in a TIFF file format when printing, but it does not select the image to be printed. Whenever I print a tiff image file two pages to print.  Since most of my photos are in TIFF format, and each contains two images one by one another at a reduced resolution and normal resolution I'm only interested in printing the first image and not the second.  I really don't want to convert all my photos in a different format.  Does anyone know if there is a setting to fix this?

    II. open the document to print

    III. click on print and check

    i. right click on the file type

    II. select Rename

    III. the extension .jpg or .jepg replace

    IV. and then try to print
