can't connect to email after installing Windows 8

Can't connect to attachments via email sent to me after installing Windows 8

Windows 8 isn't out yet...
If you mean Internet Explorer 8, some users are having troubles with IE8 and
attachments in Windows Mail.
Uninstalling IE8 seems to be the best solution, or switch to a different
email program.

Have you installed Windows INTERNET EXPLORER 8?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed
IE8?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

Just asking for now!! Do NOT use such a Restore Point yet!! => Do you have
an available Restore Point which predates the install of IE8?

NB: Uninstalling IE8 (cf. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700) should
resolve the behavior but you should not have encountered it in the first
place if IE8 was installed properly; cf.
