Unable To Open Attachments

[bru82162]

After giving up for a while I am once again attempting to open WinMail e-mail
attachments. What I did today was uninstall IE8 (thanks for the procedure).
Once this completed, the machine rebooted to save changes. I then opend IE
and clicked "help" to check the verion (7). So far so good. Then I went back
to WinMail and tried opening an attachment. Still unable to open a .jpeg,
..doc, .pdf, etc. Right click, "save to" funtion doesn't work either.

Any help is appreciated.

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
and/or uninstalled 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) properly
should resolve the behavior but you should not have encountered it in the
first place if IE8 was installed properly. cf.

FWIW, a handful of older posts (28 June - 1 July) redownloaded into just
about all of my subscribed MS newsgroups earlier today. I figured the

Anti-virus is AVG. This problem predates AVG as the original anti-virus was
Norton (free subscription with PC purchase). AVG components currently enabled
are: virus, spyware, e-mail, ID, link scanner and resident shield. MIcrosoft
Ddefender on top of that.

The applications were active while IE8 was uninstalled.

This is a crazy problem one would never expect with a new machine.

Thanks,
Bruce

Assuming you never purchased the Norton application, had the Norton
free-trial already expired when you installed AVG (Free)?

Have you uninstalled the Norton free-trial and did you then download & run
the Norton Removal Tool *before* you installed AVG?

More like one USENET node was being blocked and is now unblocked? <eg>

Notice the Xref: numbers on the "redownloaded" posts?
Also, I suppose we could check the Path: headers for more specific
confirmation of the idea. ; )

Yup. newsfeed00.sul.t-online.de Use telnet to show:

xhdr Date 277500-277550

xhdr Path 277500-277550

QED. ; )
