Today, I received a notice that a service pack was available for my Vista os.
Wanting to keep my operating system current and up to date, I clicked to
install it. After leaving the computer run, I returned to find the computer
had rebooted as I expected it to.
The problem arrived when I went to check email. Clicking on any attachment,
nothing will open! Jpg, mpg, wmv, pdf, nothing opents! I went to "Tools,
Options" and made sure that my settings allowed attachments to be opened.
Clicking Apply, I checked all other settings, made sure all appeared correct,
I clicked ok.
I rebooted the computer again, and checked mail and once again, nothing
would open...
This happened to me once before, and I simply went to my system restore
points and restored from an earlier date. Problem solved! So thinking that
this would work, and as I have my computer set restore points weekly, I went
to restore to an earlier date. Unfortunately, the only restore point was at
the time of the update! So even though I restored the computer, it didn't
solve the problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I use this computer for business and
definitely need to view attachments.
Thanks,
Steve
