Corrupted Attachments

[Guest monijohn]

With Vista, Often, If not usually, cannot read or download attachments from

e-mail. Was not a problem with older computer running XP. When occurred, I

would go to my old computer and read. Old computer down now.

 

Reads out as corrupted, Why? Even some files, usually MicroSoft Word from

old computer will not open on this Vista computer. Same box telling me may be

corrupted. and won't open, even though it is already downloaded to new

computer.

 

Any help appreciated John

You do have Office, word viewer or word install on this machine?

You do have IE configured as default internet link (start > properties >

customize start menu)?

You do have Word or Office set up to be compatible with 2000/2003?
