Can not open any graphics attachment in OE6
I have recently installed IE7 and it works OK. But it appears that it MAY
have caused my OE6 not to link to my graphics software - MS Photodraw V2 or MS Photo Editor. Until the last few weeks, I never had a problem opening any graphics attachment. I now get the message 'This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folders Option Control Panel'. I go to the FOCP and select - gif, jpg, etc. Make the selection, Tten I process the graphics again and the same thing happens. Don't know what to do. Appreciate any help. -- nf martin Illinois, 60017 |

Can not open any graphics attachment in OE6
Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With. Find and
choose a program that works and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open these attachments in the future. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "nf martin" wrote in message ... I have recently installed IE7 and it works OK.

Can not open any graphics attachment in OE6
You can reset graphic files to the defaults:
Go to Start | Run Regedit and then navigate to the keys for jpg and jpeg. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg Under this key should be a (Default) "jpegfile" Content Type "image/jpeg" Do the same for jpeg and also for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif (Default) "giffile" Content Type "image/gif" For added info about file associations, see Mike Santovec's website: Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/decode.htm -- Jim Pickering, MVP/Windows Mail applications Please reply ONLY to newsgroup.
