Can't Open Jpeg files in OE6
In case you were addressing this to me, that's exactly what I did later on
(reinstalling without e-mail scanning). When I initially just disabled e-mail scanning (having already installed it previously) I had no problems with the Windows Security Centre. Only the AVG icon on the taskbar showed an error. On opening the main AVG window it just showed that e-mail scanning was not working. This was only a minor irritant and I could live with it. As I said, later on I had an opportunity to reinstall AVG, so then took the custom route and never installed scanning, as had been suggested in this NG previously. I just wanted to make the point that I had no particular issues at any stage. DAS To send an e-mail directly replace "spam" with "schmetterling" --- "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

Your "why not" response prompted me to respond to you. Reinstalling AVG was
certainly good advice. The OP dropped out of the thread, so we don't know if it helped, but it was worth a shot. There /are/ some people that use AVG with e-mail scanning enabled and have no problem. Maybe even most. But if there is a compatibility issue with AVG's e-mail scanning, reinstalling it is the only way to completely get its hooks off your machine. Remember the "paper clip" issue with version 7x? Of course not everyone was affected by it, but there was enough for me to prepare this canned reply. ~~~~ Attachment showing when there is none. If you are using AVG for your anti-virus and have e-mail scanning enabled, that can cause this issue. Normally, I would just say to turn off the e-mail scanning feature. It is a redundant layer of protection that causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. However, with AVG you may need to remove and reinstall AVG and choose Custom Mode. Uncheck E-mail Scanning when you see that option.

Can't Open Jpeg files in OE6 / paperclip
Hi Bruce
Ok. Your little comment about paperclips made my eyes 'prick up', so to speak. Last summer I suddenly started receiving a large number of msgs that showed a paperclip (attachment) but had no attachment. I thought it may have had something to do with graphics but decided to accept this as one of life's little irritants when at some stage that stopped. I don't remember why (maybe after a Windows reinstal?). I had AVG Free running with e-mail scanning before and after, IIRC. Only more recently did I shut off that feature. I use OE 6. What do you mean by v7.x? IE 7? This is what I use, though less frequently now, as I also have Firefox.

Can't Open Jpeg files in OE6 / paperclip

AVG Version 7.0 & 7.5 had the issue with the paper clip showing when there was no attachment.

Can't Open Jpeg files in OE6 / paperclip
Right! That may have been the reason for the disppearance of the paperclip;
I did upgrade to AVG 8 later last year. One of life's little mysteries solved, maybe..

Can't Open Jpeg files in OE6
I am having the exact same problem on machine running XP SP3! I didn't
connect the install of IE8 with it but it was about that time that it started. When trying to open jpg in attachment the hourglass displays for about 1 second and then nothing. Only happens with jpg or jpeg. They use to open into picture viewer. What weird is that if I close OE6 and reopen I can get the pictures to open just like they always did. But at some point it stops working correctly. I have not figured out what I do that makes it stop yet. When writing an email and I attach a picture to the email if I double click on the file in the attatch line on the email they open right up. But in my inbox or sent folder or drafts folder nothing happens. I run norton internet security and have disabled email scanning but acts the same way. "Billy-B" wrote: I've been following a thread regarding this issue from May and thought I had this solved but not! Even since I installed IE 8.0 I can't open jpeg attachments in OE6 emails. I am using Windows XP... SP3 I do have spybot running in the backgrond and have AVG but I have disabled incoming email scans from AVG. I tried deleting all the .tmp files, and for a few days opening jpeg attachments worked. Then it stopped working... So something is telling me its IE 8 causing this. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I can save the jpeg to a folder and open them from the viewer but that is a real pain in the neck. |
