• System repair & Recovery does not work / Vista Windows Mail won't open attachments sent with PowerPoint Slide Show

  System repair & recovery does not work.  When I use it, it never restarts the computer.  I have left running and went to bed and is still running the next morning.  The SR & R is grayed out and will not open.   When I restart the computer after that it ran all night, a message appears to tell me that I cancelled the operation.  Help!

  I have another problem with Vista Windows Mail; I can't open attachments are sent using Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show.  The message is: * this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.  Create an association in the set Associations Panel.  I don't know anything about computers or the control panel.  How can I fix these problems?  Help!

  Problem with recovery to factory settings or system/process of repair software, contact the manufacturer of your computer.
  It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.

• Windows Mail doesn't open my office or my Start menu. It freezes right when it opens.

  original title: Windows Mail won't open no-program freezes

  My Windows email won't open it from my desktop or start menu. The process starts but quickly freezes with blue Windows Mail box planted in the middle of my screen.  I am not sure of the version, however the date of copyright on the frozen screen said 2006.  Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  What antivirus software do you use?  Many are not compatible with WinMail.  See the link I cited above.  Try to remove your antivirus software and get something less invasive such as www.microsoft.com/security_essentials .  Then delete your e-mail account, close and reopen WinMail and then add your e-mail account back again to solve all the problems that caused the anti-virus products.  Then see if it works correctly then.

  When I open Windows mail, all records except local and Inbox are missing.

  The rest of the screen is empty except for a message:

  County of folder may not be displayed

  Windows Mail could not open this folder.

  Possible Casuses are:

  low disk space

  not enough memory

  After turning off my computer, defraggin computer to free up space to oup, I still got the same message.

  I went on my ipad and access the windows messaging it. I had three new messages that I could access. I raise 9 unsent messages in your Outbox (they never appear on my desktop version). I cleaned up the.

  restarted my computer desk - still no change.

  I use Windows Vista

  I tried to download the package of Windows 941090 update but it said I had a bad version. I double checked, I had the correct 32-bit version.

  So what can I try now?

  Thank you very much

  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.

• Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?

  Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?

  Hello

  1. Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
  2. Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
  3. Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
  4. Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
  5. In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
  6. Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

• 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.

• 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.

  This can happen even if you have the viewer PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 installed. However, the same file may open correctly when saved to disk and then seen. Note that this problem will not occur if you have Microsoft Office or PowerPoint installed.

  This article applies to Windows Vista, with the PowerPoint 2003 Viewer or PowerPoint Viewer 2007 is installed. For a version of Windows XP in this article, see article cannot be opened. PPS directly from Outlook Express attachments?
