The reasons are still unknown and there is no fix - except uninstalling IE8. The problems can be reduced to JPG and TXT files (all other files types opening fine with a workaround): Right-click on the shortcut that you use to open Windows Mail. Select Properties. In the field labeled 'Start in' change the entered value to %UserProfile%. Click OK. Restart Windows Mail and try opening attachments. HTH Rainald |
