For some reason a recent windows update has given me a problem opening attachments. I can't seem to be able to open any type of attachemnt now.

I went into the mail options tool and un-checked the do not allow attachments to be saved or opened. That doesn't work . they still will not open or allow me to save them. I see others wre having this problem. What is the fix??

Is it Windows Mail or Windows LIVE Mail? They are different programs.
If unsure look at Help, About.

This newsgroup is for Windows LIVE Mail.

For help with the Vista Windows Mail (WM) program, use this Newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ows.vista.mail

You can also get to the newsgroup via this web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.mspx
There select Windows Vista, then Windows Mail.

Are you getting any error message when you try to open or save
attachments?

What specific file attachments are you having problems with? e.g. DOC,
JPG, PPS, etc.?

What version of Windows are you running?

What version of IE do you have installed?

Window Mail with IE8 and Vista. It happens on all file extensions. It gives an error when i try to save it. does nothing when I try to open it. I see others out there with the same problem, but no awy to fix it yet. What in the heck is going on with this. Did a windows update trash how Mail works??
