Hi still cant open attachments in windows mail, can you send me some updates?
this is my worst experience of a MS product ever. I doubt that this product
has been tested properly and to ask your customers to do it is unfair?

Have tried the file tye association have tried various versions of word
already!

So as you appear to have started a completely new thread (I assume you have
posted about this before) can you tell us what happens when you try to open
attachments, and that you have tried IN DETAIL please to fix it?
 
Hi Gordon

I have tried the file type associations. I have purchased 2007 despite my
reservations and preference to 2003 MS office. I have reset file type
associations I have downloaded a link from another comment box from the
ofconline help, still no joy. I can save attachments to desktop and open
fine. I get occ "not responding" from mail and it locks up after I get the
error" file type association messages" is there a patch for this?

Have you had a look here?

If the attachment you are trying to open is winmail.dat, does your
new version of Office include Outlook, the program needed to
open such attachments? Not all of the 2007 versions do.

There have been no new hotfixes available for Windows Mail available
for about 17 months, and the only one I know about probably isn't
relevant to your problem.

For the problems with Windows Mail downloading mail too
infrequently, click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email
account, then Properties. If there is no checkmark in the box
before Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing,
click on this box, then Apply. Click on OK, then Close.

Click on Tools, then Options. If there is no checkmark in the
box before Check for new messages every, click on this box
then Apply. You may also want to click on the triangles to the
right of the number of minutes and adjust it, but not to less than
5 minutes, then click Apply. Click on Send. If there is no
checkmark in the box before Send messages immediately, it
sometimes helps to click on this box, then Apply. Click on
OK.
