Save the attachment to another file and you should be able to open it from
there.

I am having the same problem, and it clearly is the fault of Windows Mail. I
can go to WebMail, read the emails and open attachments, but I get the
"Command failed to execute" message if I go through Windows Mail. I have had
this computer with the 64-bit Windows Vista operating system about nine
months, and installed BitDefender when it was new. I haven't had any
problems reading attachments until Microsoft installed a recent update. I
tried the fixes suggested in the email string above, and none of them worked.
Contrary to your earlier comment, this is not an isolated problem. Why
can't Microsoft get it right?

Did you not read my comment (the one you quoted)?
The best current workaround is to uninstall IE8, thereby reverting back
to IE7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700

2nd Box must be blank ( do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that
could potentially be a virus)
Apparently things get changed on updates that we don't see!
If it recurs check to see iof box has become ticked again, if not come out
of windows mail and then go in again and it should be okay.

the properties but I cannot change it like you say so.

The most reliable workaround for the attachments issue in Windows Mail
is to uninstall IE8, which reverts you back to IE7.

That's a known issue that is affecting some who installed IE8.
One workaround is to uninstall IE8, which reverts you back to IE7.
If you decide to uninstall IE8 instead, see:

This is what NAV tech support told me to do:
In IE: 1) delete temporary internet files; 2) restore IE defaults.
[You may also have to close/reopen Windows Mail. The problem will recur!]

You did not include the most important part. Does that work?
You say the "problem will recur". If so then this solution is worse than the
problem it is supposed to cure.

For something that important, just save the attachment(s) and then open it
(them) from there. Don't demand perfection; get the job done. If you need
help, pay someone to help you. There is certainly someone near by that can
help for little or nothing. If saving the attachment does not apply to your
situation, then start a new thread describing your problem. Don't post a
message in another thread if the solution to the problem is different. If
you don't understand, then get someone that does.

As a user having the same problem, what I do is save the attachement and then
go find where I saved it and it will open without any problems.
