Unable to View/Open or Save any attachments

It doesn't matter What type of attachment i have, Win Mail will not allow me
to view/open/save attachments. I have installed Office Pro 2007 to no effect.
I have tried all work arounds in this forum but still no joy. Obvious;y
Microsoft don't give a #$%& ..they got our money..thats all they worry about.

I even rang MS tech support only to be told they couldn't help..they hadn't
been trained yet...

I tested saving a JPG attachment in Windows Mail, which succeeded simply
by clicking its name in the header area.

You may have a configuration problem, or another app may be blocking the
save. Also check TOOLS|OPTIONS|SECURITY SETTINGS, if you have not done
so already.

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx and look at points 1 and 3.

Do you have found a solution yet, because I'm having the same problem?

Some have reported that Norton Internet Security will cause this problem.
The fix would be to uninstall NIS.

I had this problem with the retail version when I installed AVG, it went
away when I uninstalled AVG. (But I couldn't fix it when it occurred when
using RC1.)

Sorry to hear that AVG can cause this problem. Before this, only
Symantec/Norton and McAfee products were on my bad actor list.

Hi, I am running Vista with AVG 7.5 free edition and all WAS fine, all of a
sudden I can now not open any attachments either, HELP I have also lost the
top bar with the windows close option on it.

Been looking everywhere for help but nothing yet.

Thanks

Make sure that email scanning in AVG is turned off and that the email plugin
is disabled. This will not decrease your protection at all.
