Unabled to download attachements in Micrsoft Mail

[Homer 44]

Just recently I have been unable to download attachements in Windows mail.
When you select the file it clicks however nothing is displayed.
When I go to save the file it displays error message...
"There was an error saving one or more of the attachments. Pleas check your
free disk space and try again".
In tools/options/security - The " Dont allow attachments to be saved or
opened that could potentially be a virus " - box is not checked.

That type of problem is often caused by interference from a non-
compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
For more information on why email scanning is bad, see

My Windows mail was running fine and opening attachements up until yesterday.
I am also running Visa Home Professional.
The anti-virus program I am using is AVG free. I have found this excellent -
I have been using it for many years with no virus's.
I decided to delete AVG (big mistake) and re-install it - BIG program. Now
the reload has timed out because it cant load a file and now I have two
problem.
I think you are on the right track - I do think it is in the virus checker!
I should have just disabled the email checker as a start.
I will keep you informed.

I also have the same problem. I have uninstalled Norton Antivirus, unticked
the "Don't allow attachements.."

What else can I do?

I don't see a detailed problem statement from you in this thread.
Please describe your issue. Can you save attachments and open them
outside of Windows Mail?
