Cannot Open Attachments

I cannot open attachments in Win Mail. I have already unchecked the security
feature about blocking certain attachments. When I go to Save As, i get a
"cannot execute command" error. When I try to open the attachment, nothing
happens.

Turn off email scanning of your antivirus software and then see if you can.

I can't open or save attachments from Windows Mail. Antivirus (Vet) disabled
so is email scanner. Security settings unticked. When I try to save
attachments (regardless of whatever file they are), a message appears: "There
was an error saving one or more of your attachments. Please check your free
disk space and try again." I have 130Gb free on HDD & 1 Gb RAM. Win Vista
Home Premium.

Save the attachment to disk first and then you will be able to open it.

I am no expert, just a beginner. Norton has an update on their website that
fixed my can't open attachment problems. My vista system came with Norton and
worked fine for a while then went away. I hope this helps some one.
