Hi Stead, I have the same problem, I noticed that from 15th August when I
downloaded about 11 Microsoft updates (at least one of which cannot be
removed) I am unable to open any attachments in Windows Mail, if I try to
save them I get an error- command failed to execute, I've been unable to get
a solution to this as yet apart from setting up a hotmail account and they
open ok with that. The browser problem I found you need to disable User
Account Control (temporarly) then you can download ok. Hopefully Microsoft
will have a fix for this shortly but it doesn't seem to affect that many
people?? I don't think it's to do with anti- virus software (I'm using
Kaspersky IS Version 6) as I've disabled it to try it to no avail, also tried
system restore, also a no go, hope this helps you for now but really need a
proper fix, it's a pain having to restart your computer to switch the UAC off
and on, cheers for now, Wanchip.
ps I don't think there's anything "wonderfull" about it, lol.
