| | Opening .wmv and .mpg attachments in Windows Mail/ Vista As of yesterday I can't open any .wmv or .mpg attachments in Windows Mail or anywhere else I just noticed. Using "save as" and saving them as documents does not work either. I see this has been covered here since February but no useable solutions are listed. Does anyone from Microsoft monitor this form? There must be a cure by now. Anybody had any luck? Thanks, Gary S. |

| | Re: Opening .wmv and .mpg attachments in Windows Mail/ Vista If you can't open the saved files outside of Windows Mail, then it's not a Windows Mail problem. What does Default Programs show for what's assigned to .wmv and .mpg?

| | Re: Opening .wmv and .mpg attachments in Windows Mail/ Vista By that I believe you mean what program is set to open these?? If so it says Windows Media Player. How have all these other folks resolved this same problem talked about in this form?

| | Re: Opening .wmv and .mpg attachments in Windows Mail/ Vista So is the issue that you can't save the attachment, or after you save the attachment it can't be opened?
