WMV

When I try to open a message containing a wmv it says command failed to
execute.

That's a known issue that is affecting some who installed IE8.
One workaround is to uninstall IE8, which reverts you back to IE7.
If you decide to uninstall IE8, follow these instructions:

Instead of uninstalling IE8, another option is to upgrade
your email program to Windows Live Mail:

When I try to open a message containing a wmv it says command failed
to execute.

Does the problem appear only with WMV files?
how about other file types, especially JPG and TXT?

Is it possible that your Windows Media Player is not set as default for WMV
?
Start > Default Programs > Associate file type or protocol with a program >
scroll down to WMV. Look across to the right. Is Windows Media Player it's
Current Default ?
If not, click Change Program, select Windows Media Player > OK
