Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008Can'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: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Gary VanderMolen > 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).

But problems still remains. Ps. advice. Is there any update avaiable to solve that problems. Waiting your advice. Thanks Azhar > 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). [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Cause a lot of time to do all this. > Please advise !! What antivirus did you remove? If it was from Norton or McAfee, you need to run the cleanup tool for it: <http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039> <http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=4105&partner=McAfee&type =TS&ia=1> 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: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090 If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit version first. > Hi, > I have very serious follwoing problems.

Thanks Mr Robert, I am installed Macfee and remove all file by using your link<http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=4105&partner=McAfee&type =TS&ia=1> I am using anitivirus NOD32 Version 2.70.39 latest version for vista.

The available update is called Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview  SignatureGary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) > Hi, > I have very serious follwoing problems. [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> Cause a lot of time to do all this. >> Please advise !! 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 > The available update is called Windows Live Mail: > http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > >> Cause a lot of time to do all this. > >> Please advise !! 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. > Mr Gary, Thanks for your reply. > [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] >> >> Cause a lot of time to do all this. >> >> Please advise !! I am curious, in what way do you consider Windows Live Mail not to be the equal of Windows Mail? People often have misconceptions about what WLM is. I was only trying to save you the time and trouble of trying to fix WM, because it sounds like a difficult problem to fix. It is rather doubtful that Microsoft will come out with any more fixes for WM, now that its replacement (WLM) has been released.

Hi everyone, I was having the same problem where I couldn't open or save attachments in Windows Mail, getting the message " There was an error saving one or more of the attachments, please check your free disk space and try again" also I wasn't able to extract zip files natively in vista.. I figured out that it was due to an copy of AVG (antivirus) that wasn't uninstalled correctly, as I couldn't uninstall it from the "programs and features" in control panel due to it being corrupt, I used the original setup file and instead of installing it again I chose the option to uninstall it. It uninstalled perfectly and now everything works.. Hope this helped you guys out Signaturegsn880 http://forums.techarena.in Hi, I also disabled all start up problems and try to open the attachement but did not successed.

Most people are not having problems. What you see here, other than the volunteers, are only those that do. You will find newsgroups and/or forums for a myriad of computer related issues. Does that mean the programs are not user friendly? (rhetorical question) If you want to be taken seriously use punctuation and turn off your caps lock, it is consider shouting and rude. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > MICROSOFT POSSIBLE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERSYONE WANT TO USE THESE > FUTURES. I had the same problem. As one person wrote, you do have to download anti-virus software. There's a free on on www.mozilla.com for email called Thunderbird. It worked right away for me.

AVG (like Avast) must be installed using the custom install option, which then enables you to forego installing the mail checking module. This mail checking module causes problems with Windows Mail.
