No matter what I do I can't open or save attachments in Windows Mail. I did
uncheck the box in Security Settings (about not downloading dangerous attachments). Nothing seems to work.

I click on the attachment. It's like clicking a blank space. No error
message. Nothing. I try Save AS. I put in a directory. An error message says "Action can't be executed". That's all. So I can't open or save an attachment. Please help.

Try saving to Desktop. It could be a permissions issue.
Also see if you can save the whole message to the Desktop and then click on it to open it and then see if you can then save the attachment. Is it any attachment, or just a certain kind. Try an image. steve "ROLL-Framingham" wrote in message ... I click on the attachment. It's like clicking a blank space. No error message. Nothing. I try Save AS. I put in a directory.

If you mean under Tools - Options -- Security in Windows Mail, there is only
one thing about attachemnets: "Do not allow attachments that coold potentially be a virus". I tried unchecking it and checking it, still no luck! Windows Mail won;t let me Open or Save any attachment. I have noticed that I can download email attachments from internet mail (AOL) using Mozilla, but NOT using internet mail using IE7. Maybe it's related????? "Steve Cochran" wrote: What build are you using?

ROLL-Framingham:
You're going to have to give us a bit more info here. 1. we'll need your build number. you can get that typing "winver" at the run line. 2. what type of logon account are you using, is it a member of the administrator's group, a power user, standard user, etc. 3. Can you open attached text files, jpegs, or do all result in the same error? 4. Have you altered any of the default settings in winmail, if so, which ones? 5. Have you installed any virus scanners? If you don't feel comfortable providing this info to the group, please open a bug through the connect site (http://connect.microsoft.com) and a microsoft representative will contact you to get the above info from you. If you're not on the beta, then I'll have to take a different approach to get that info. :-) Highspar "ROLL-Framingham" wrote in message ...
