| | Re: Opening/Saving attachments in received files Thanks for your help Ronald, but the issue is not disk capacity. I have more than 60 GB available in my HD. I don't have any problem when saving files with other applications. It is a Windows Mail problem. Do you have another recommendation?

| | Re: Opening/Saving attachments in received files What happened after you deleted the temporary Internet files? OE places the attachments in temporary Internet files when you open or save. Disk capacity was not mentioned nor is it an issue. -- Ronald Sommer "VictorH" <VictorH@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:785E8498-0367-47E5-95CB-C9FE3618A9CF@microsoft.com... : Thanks for your help Ronald, but the issue is not disk capacity.

| | Re: Opening/Saving attachments in received files This problem can be caused by your antivirus program. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee or Norton security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled. Replace with a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Gary VanderMolen "VictorH" <VictorH@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:23A06946-D7AB-44F5-A9E9-72FBE26A8E41@microsoft.com... >I did both Ron's and Gary's recommendations but just nothing happened.
