Vista, IE8, Windows Mail, can not open attachments
I've been running Vista SP1 with Windows Home Premium and Windows Mail without problems, including handling e-mail attachments. For safety, I: McAfee Total Protection, Windows Firewall, Zone Alarm and Windows Defender.
I installed IE8 and liked the convenience features. It worked well on my machine, but now I can't open e-mail attachments. Security in Windows Mail by IE8 settings are maintained and are defined to allow attachments. I uninstalled IE8 and the problem disappeared. None of my security programs are scoring blocked attachments or otherwise.
Any suggestions on how to fix this so I can go back to IE8?
John C in PA
I just got the phone with McAfee. It seems that IE8 doesn't is NOT supported by McAfee in its current configuration that they still think IE8 beta. I was informed that when the consumer final version McAfee support and my attachments e-mail won't be a problem. Too bad at the moment, I liked IE8.

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.

I did export and then used the other program you suggested to compact the database, and finally I could work on my mail. I could even delete nearly 1000 emails in the deleted files folder. Before it would just give me an error message.

My Windows Mail does not open. It gives me a message saying, ' Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE. " DLL could not be loaded. "How can I fix in order to regain access to my e-mail address?
The only other thing I can suggest is to back up and then delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail
I start with the first and then see if it works. If this isn't the case, then delete them both.

can not open attachments directly from browser using ie7 or ie8
When I try to open an attachment (ie. pdf file or video file), it does allow me to open it. It works as I don't have the program to open it. where normily he would give me the option 'open', 'save' or 'Cancel', it gives me just the option 'Save' and 'Cancel' and only on pdf files, it also gives the optoin to "find a program". I first have to save the file, then open it. on my old computer I can just open it with them to have to save it first... im running Home premium 64-bit and IE7

Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.
