Word attachments will not be opened in Windows Mail

I am running Vista Home Premium. When I try to open Word attachments in Windows Mail it tells me that this type of file (DOC) is not associated with a program. However, it is associated with Word (which is installed). I saw in this forum that IE8 was a conflict, so I went back to IE7, but I still can't get Windows Mail to open Word attachments. All other types of file open correctly. If I save the attachment Word elsewhere he opened in Word very well. Help!

See what...

  • Why can't we simply have an option to turn Javascript on the sites again in the settings of Firefox 27? All of a sudden my Gmail attachments will not be opened. Gmail.

    All of a sudden my Gmail attachments have stopped opening, and I got the message: JavaScript must be enabled so that you can use Gmail in standard mode. However, it seems that JavaScript is disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then try again.

    I found a Mozilla support thread where he explained that Javascript has been disabled for a while OK and next... Then, there was a complicated answer about how you could always turn it back on by typing in a code to config in the address bar. What? Or, you can download an extension to do this for you. Why?

    Please - if you really feel that users can not be trusted, and Javascript must be turned off, at least bring back the ability to turn Javascript on or off, on a basis by site in the options, without having to know the code. It's Gmail.

    Thank you.

    Thank you, guys. OK, thinking about has no sense. So I decided to solve all aspects. I think now that several attachments, sent to me by a client are corrupted to its end. Open attachments from several other people! So sorry to waste your time and very sad I lost many of my friends. I think this thread should be deleted. Thanks again.

  • Why is - one of my photos will not be open in windows photo gallery

    You are using windows vista, none of the photos in my photo gallery of windows open when I double click to edit.  No message appears... just the hourglass as it loads the picture, but it never does.  I can open them in the paint but want to see what tools are available to edit through the Gallery instead

    Click photo and hit the Enter key and see if the same thing happens.

    You might be the only person who did not get recommended updates to windows as important updates?

    Otherwise your ordinary library would have been replaced with windows live photo gallery.

    Check for updates to windows, or you may be able to see if the fix program option exists in uninstall a program from your control panel.

  • Images will not load in thunderbird, Windows Mail or OE classic.

    I tried all the information online, but I can still see picture at 3 different e-mail programs, I malwarebites but I can't find any conflict.

    You have three e-mail programs, none of them load the images in the mail. There is very little question of the problem is external to e-mail programs, most likely a security or speed to improve the tool.

    Malwarebytes is not a product anti anti-virus. So, what antivirus do you use?

  • Word 2011 will not open docx file created under Windows

    Word 2011 will not open docx file created under Windows sent me by mail after I installed El captain.

    I don't know that someone on the Microsoft forums can give you some useful tips.

  • My windows live Movie Maker has an ER code 0 x 80004005, cannot display viedo of camer after down load, that its there just will not be open for the show.

    After down loading the camera viedo, it will not be open for show, but it's there, ER (0x80004005) it says Director windows live how I do to reboot?

    Have a look at the last 3 letters of the video you've imported to Windows Live Movie maker (WLMM).
    That the last 3 letters represent the format of the video file. If the format is NOT supported by WLMM, he won't play it.

    Here are the formats supported by WLMM:
    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    If your video file format is not on the list above, google for a FREE video converter and it allows to convert your video file.
    The best format to convert is WMV. The most reliable and foo-proof format.

  • Why the clip will not play in the window of the observer?

    Hello world. It's me again. So, I just started working on a project, and the clip will not play in the window of the observer. In the timeline panel, I see that there are images to play, but the Viewer is black when I try to play. I have temporary can solve it by leaving FCPX and opening it again, but after a few minutes, the display window stops again, and it's a pain to have to do every time so I can watch a few minutes of film. Just so you guys know, do it mode multi-cam, incase that has an effect on it. Thank you very much!

    You have the options of display Angles show the value? You are in the editor of the Angle or the project timeline?

  • Whenever I open my Windows Mail, get an error 'the host 'Pop3' is not found.

    I am able to use windows Mail without problems apart from this guard popping up which is very annoying

    I have no idea how to do to stop what is happening

    I'll be very grateful if someone can help me with this problem

    Thank you

    * original title - how to stop can't find the waiter to come to the top *.

    Go to tools | Options and uncheck the option to send and receive at startup.  See if that takes care of the problem.  He might try to receive before its ready.  Also check your settings under Tools | Accounts and checking accounts are configured correctly.  You can also try compacting and repairing the database to clear up all the weird questions (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and look out for interference of program part 3 (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

  • Network and sharing Center will not be open in the Panel

    I've been away from home - where I HSI and it works very well - for a few months, I plugged to the network sporadically awireless (sometimes just bad signal), with a lot of frustration.  A few days ago, I went to a place where I could connect to a hard (secure) wireless network and enjoyed the smooth navigation for about an hour.  Later when I tried to connect to the smaller network, unsecure, I couldn't open my network and sharing Center. Whether from the drawer or the Control Panel, a screen opens displaying nothing, but the circle of rotation.  The TASK MANAGER IS REQUIRED to CLOSE THE PAGE - it will not answer the close box. TM shows the centre network and sharing as 'running', although there is no indication on the screen, except the title and the circle of rotation.

    My laptop is a dv6t Pavilion with Windows 7 (64-bit)

    All the other files in the Panel seem to open and operate normally.

    Hello Hamanslayer

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I understand the network and sharing Center will not be open. I will do my best to help you! If please launch and center network and sharing, and wait for him so that he can provide an error. In addition, please try to run Centre network and sharing in a different user account. If you don't have one, create one.

    I did some research on this issue. Unfortunately, the only reliable troubleshooting that is remaining, if the above does not help, is to reinstall the operating system. Too, there are different issues that could be causing it. Reinstalling the operating system will focus on each of them.

    First, please save all the files you need. You can find specific steps on how to proceed in the following HP document: backup of files (Windows 7)

    Once this is done, you can safely reinstall the operating system. I'll also give you a document on how to do it: perform a recovery of the system (Windows 7) HP

    Please let me know your results. Thanks again for the display on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    When starting my computer will not have right to windows is said by pressing F1 or F2, he also says to look for floppy drive 0 failure

    It is a message from the BIOS. You can press F2 and go into BIOS and select "set as default" then save and exit. The PC actually has a floppy drive?
