Unable to save attachments in Windows Live Mail

First of all, I saw this question raises a number of times on this and other sites to support, but I've yet to see it resolved. I'm running a fully corrected and updated current version of Windows Vista SP2 and you have installed Windows Live Mail in my default e-mail Manager. In short, I'm only able to download attachments of any kind by drag-and - drop on my desktop - all usual ways have no effect, or produce a generic error message.

Upon receipt of an email with parts attachments of any type in any amount:

  1. Double-click an attachment icon - no effect
  2. Right click, don't choose 'Open' - no effect
  3. Right click, choose 'Print' - successfully print paper or .pdf [my default printer]
  4. Right-click, choose "save under"-"save attachment as" command prompt opens. When you click 'Save' (on the desktop for these examples), prompt disappears, and no file is saved on the desktop.
  5. Right click, choose 'Save everything' - 'Save attachments' command prompt opens. When you click on "Save", the error message if there is a registration error, one or more of the attachments. Please check your free disk space and try again. Note: The available disk space is not a problem on this machine.
  6. Drag / drop the attachment of the WLM message on my desk - work successfully.

Solutions already attempted:

  1. Delete all temporary files of Internet Explorer 9 [any effect]
  2. In IE9 security options, ensuring"download file"is "activated". [any effect]
  3. In IE9 security options, disable the "Protected Mode" [any effect]
  4. After trying the previous two solutions, change the security zone in Windows Live Mail (Options--> Security--> Security tab Options) for the "Internet Zone" rather that "sensitive sites"area [any effect]
  5. In Windows Live Mail, ensure that "do not allow the opening or saving attachments that could contain a virus" box is unchecked [any effect]
  6. Ensure all analyzes e-mail is disabled by my anti-virus (Avast software! Free antivirus 6.0.1367). Note: No product AVG, Norton or MacAfee have already been installed on this machine, I understand that their presence (current or former) may contribute to this problem
  7. Use ProceXP to display all the assets of .dll files used by Windows Live Mail to make sure that nothing unusual is running. Nothing unusual, although wlmail.exe accesses the Avast! AV .dll 'snxhk.dll '. I don't know if this has an effect.
  8. Run the System File Checker tool [no problem found, no effect].

While this problem has a workaround solution, is somewhat a disadvantage and slightly confusing (why would 'print' and drag-and - drop works, but nothing else?). I hope that I haven't missed the solution somewhere and that, otherwise, it can be resolved for the good of someone fall on this issue. Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot open attachments in Windows Live Mail on Windows 7

    I bought a new Windows 7 machine, a few days ago (July 12, 2013).  I installed Windows Live Mail and uploaded (with limited success at best) messages from Outlook Express in WL.  I uninstalled McAfee and installed and activated Norton.  Then I started using WL email today.  I have received a few messages with Word attachments.  I can not open them with a double-click or with right click then click on 'open '.  I can not print them.  When I try, nothing happens.  I can save to a folder and then open them, but it's a great nuisance.

    Surprising oddity: I think THAT I managed to open the first attachment that I received.  I know that I looked at, and I don't remember any problem.  But I can to open it (the email with the attachment is still in my Inbox queue), or any other accessory.  It is a particular idea to any aspiring detective software!

    In the windows of forum I see that others have had similar problems, and no one could help you after several tries.  Is this just a problem with WL?

    Good luck.

    FWIW, I used Outlook Express for years. When I got this Win7 machine, I tried WLMail 2009, which was "pre Ribbon toolbar" and I did not like much for her. 2011 is a disaster. I switched to Thunderbird and I am very happy with it.

  • Help, please! Cannot open attachments in Windows Live Mail.

    I use Windows 7, Windows Live Mail, and Malwarebytes/Anti-Malware security. The error message says I need to change the security settings to open the attachments. (Adobe files or other.) How do I do that? Please notify.

    Malwarebytes prevents you to open attachments, windows live mail will be, the security settings are in your profile page, if they are approved contacts, select always open attachments from trusted senders, or add them to your approved sender list, options and more options review and adjust your settings, malwarebytes invite you when these attachments act as a virus or malware.

    Windows live mail has problems, my recommendation is low grade of live hotmail, fewer problems like that and not hotmail or another.
