Vista - Can't open & save the attachment in Window Mail

1) Have been clear the "Do not allow attachment to be saved or opened that
could potentially be a viris"check box from Tools menu(Option ~Security Tab).

2) Unable directly save & download the attached file.
Error msg " There was an error saving one or more of the attachments ,
please check your free disk space and try again"
But, the attached file only 42KB & my PC disk space is 60% availaible.

This was cause a ot of inconvenience, due to unable to open the attached
directly.
All the time, i have to forward to my hotmail acc , then i able to open my
customer attachment.

Cause a lot of time to do all this.
Please advise !!

As always with Windows Mail, the first suspect for this problem
is a non-compatible antivirus program. If you are running
Norton or McAfee, those should be uninstalled and replaced
with a compatible antivirus like the free version of Avast:

Hi,
I have very serious follwoing problems.
" Unable directly save & download the attached file.
Error msg " There was an error saving one or more of the attachments ,
please check your free disk space and try again"

I do all steps, which you was adviced to do.

1) Have been clear the "Do not allow attachment to be saved or opened that
could potentially be a viris"check box from Tools menu(Option ~Security Tab).
2) Remove all antiviurs from my computer.
3) Disable Window Defender from start up.

But problems still remains.

Ps. advice. Is there any update avaiable to solve that problems.

Waiting your advice. Thanks Azhar

What antivirus did you remove? If it was from Norton or McAfee,
you need to run the cleanup tool for it:

You may also need to delete the email account under Windows Mail
and create it again.

This fix sometimes helps with other problems reporting low free disk
space in Windows Mail, so you might download and install it with
Windows Mail not running:

If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or the 64-bit
version, try the 32-bit version first.

Mr Gary, Thanks for your reply.

But Window live mail is not equall to window mail.

I want to know, is there any soloution in the window mail to solve that
specific issue.

As you know, for few month, e mails stuck in the folder of window mail and
not deleted, but your company issue update
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090, which we download and
run, my that prolmes was solved out.

But this problems cant open and save the attahcemet is still not solve out.

and you advice to go to another software i.e. window live mail.

Just inform me, is there any solution so that I can solve that problems in
the widow mail.

thanks

What is the part of the filename of the attachment starting with the last
period? You may not have the software needed to open such
attachments installed.

Are the attachments sent by someone using Outlook? If so, they are
probably in the RTF format, which Windows Mail doesn't understand,
so you would need to install Outlook to be able to open them.
