Unable to open or save an attachment

Original title: "attachments".

I am not able to open or save in a folder, all attachments [email].  However, I CAN open an attachment by e-mail to Power Point

Hello

Attachments must be associated with an application that can open them.

If you have PowerPoint Viewer or power point on your system and .ppt files are associated with him, then he opens.

You must configure the same way other attachment.

DOC/DOCX should be associated with the word; jpg can be associated with Paint, etc.

  • Why can't I open or save an attachment sent?

    Sometimes, when I get an attachment icon 'trombone' there no option to "open or save" it and I can't see content. It is not every time, but enough times that it is very frustrating and can find no solution online.

    A message, including one with graphics, consists of several parts, some of which may be attachments and other may be images. Thunderbird cannot always tell which is which, so it pessimistic warns you of possible accessories.

    In truth, there is not much difference between the two incorporates and attachments. What is not simple text must be encoded and added to the message, and the process to achieve this is roughly the same in both cases. An embedded image simply has an affair and a pseudo address that allows it to be displayed on-site. Structurally, it is an attachment.

  • Cannot open or save an attachment in Windows Mail

    Hello

    I can't open or save attachments in Windows Mail. I can see the attachment and highlight it. However, double clicking on it does nothing. Make a click right attachment makes appear an option "save under", but when I try to save it, I get an error message saying, "the command cannot be run."

    I've never had a problem with Window Mail until yesterday. The problem started immediately after agreeing to compact the database of e-mail in Windows Mail. My Outlook in Office 2007 still works fine.

    Now, I've read a few interesting comments on the Web about this issue. The tips are given is a variety of different bugs 'proposed '. To some I've seen:

    1. checking / unchecking option boxes withinin Windows Mail Security (does nothing).

    2. turn off your A / V by sending an e-mail to scanning or uninstalling your antivirus total program (at the same time - nothing has changed).

    3 window mail accounts are corrupt due to antivirus updates installed (I have not deleted my accounts yet, but he can try it tonight).

    4 Microsoft don't support Windows Mail, so install Window Live Mail! (this suggestion from a Microsoft representative real - I think it's very disturbing, because I paid for Windows Mail, which is part of Vista).

    OS - Vista Home Premium (latest drivers and updates)

    Anyway, if anyone has any info on this issue, any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi all

    As I was listing the foregoing, it dawned on me that it was perhaps related to the security settings for the "Internet" zone

    So, I opened IE (8), tools, Internet Options, Security tab.  There, I saw something that I had not seen before, a checkbox titled enable Protected Mode; and it has been verified.

    I've disabled and pressed to apply.  He tells me that my computer is in danger, and I agreed to that.

    The drag-and-drop attachment problem is now fixed.

    I checked IE7, and it doesn't have such a box.  Thus, the check box has been added with IE8, and its default value is checked.

    I hope this is the last time that I visit this thread; But if it gets handed over by magic, I guess that I'll be back.

  • I'm unable to open one of my 'recent documents' document. It is said to make sure that the network resource is available.

    Original title: "Recent Documents".

    I'm unable to open one of my 'recent documents' document.  It is said to make sure that the network resource is available.  What does that mean?  And I can't find the document in "My Documents" is.  And I tried a search.

    Hello

    The error means either that the document no longer is located in the folder it was when it was finally opened or the location that the file was initially located in is no longer in the same place.

    Example 1: I open a document in the My Documents folder, then after closing the document, I moved manually the file to the desktop.

    Example2: I open a document located on a removable hard drive. After the closure of the paper, I then disconnect the removable hard drive of the PC.

    In these two examples, Windows would be able to find the Document using the "Recent Documents" list

    Step 1: I recommend that you check the trash or see if the document is located on a removable hard drive (or USB key) that is is more attached to the computer.

    Step 2: Use recovery software of the third party to recover the document.
