| | Re: Windows Mail 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? -- Mike - http://TechHelp.Santovec.us "Tony Abbate" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:805c384f3eacca3802fad34cc730ac99@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

| vista home basic 32bit | Re: Windows Mail 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?? |

| vista home basic 32bit | Re: Windows Mail Michael are you still there? I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic 32bit Windows Mail. I have ie8 loaded currently. When I try to do, save as on an attchment is gives me .. Command failed to execute. When I try to open an attachment nothing happens. Do I have to unistall IE8. Or reinstall Windows Mail?? Isn't this a big problem for other folks?? Not sure why it suddenly stopped working? Please advise.. Can someone give me a some direction here. Can I run IE7 with Vista. Does Microsoft have a fix for IE8? Is that the software that is broken?? Last edited by Tony Abbate; 07-23-2009 at 09:21 AM.. |
