| | The command failed to execute I either get "the command failed to execute" or the attachment seems like it will open in the web and then nothing happens when trying to open attachments in Windows Vista. I recently installed IE8, but had the same problem when I had iE7, except I wouldn't get "the command failed to execute" error. It would just act as if it would open, but not do anything. I use Norton Anti-virus...is that the problem? Please help! |

| | RE: The command failed to execute I have an email in my inbox which has been there for some time. It used to work. Today I installed a big MS update including IE8 and now I get the "command failed to execute" message when trying to open the file attached to this email. I have McAfee antivirus, but it has never caused a problem in the past. -- mrmel "Sheldon" wrote: Quote: > I either get "the command failed to execute" or the attachment seems like it > will open in the web and then nothing happens when trying to open attachments > in Windows Vista.

I for one prefer, however, to work around the problem with only JPG and TXT files not opening directly and need saving first. Rainald |
