Der PA Bear,
What Sam reports is the *CLASSICAL* error message which appears when a
system is affected by the the IE-WinMail bug.
We've been through that numerous times. But for weeks you did never
reply to any of my postings directed to you. As you keep asking your
standard questions on Anti-Virus it seems that you do not even read what
I'm posting {siiiigh}.
Often enough I explained that Anti-Virus software is *NOT* part of the
game as far as the said attachment problem is concerned.
You did spread your theories and asked on AV issues dozens of times,
IIRC. And so far there was not a single reply from the side of the users
telling that AV issues would have caused the problem or even added to
it.
OTH I told you several times that on my test-system which has never been
touched by any AV-thing except the built-in firewall and the Defender
the problem exists and can not be cured.
What you did in this very thread IMO is your almost classical approach
of asking questions which per se can not contribute to getting closer to
the reasons of the problems. To the contrary: This thread shows that
unnecessary questions were distracting from what is *relevant* and
thereby were misleading.
Pls be so kind as to not further disturb the necessary concentration on
the relevant points.
TIA

WinMail: Tools | Options | Security | Block images... <=if you
disable/uncheck this option, does the behavior persist?
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if
any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when
you installed IE8?
Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
Just asking for now!! Do NOT use such a Restore Point yet!! => Do
you have an available Restore Point which predates the install of IE8?

Additional information:
When I get the message from trying to open the attachment, the file
Photo0192.jpg is in c:/users/sam and after I close the message box
that file
is not there.
Also, I know that Microsoft is not likely to modify WinMail, but I
hope they
can do something if an accurate description of the cause is
obtained. Is it
possible?

In the process of trying to get current (I am within 2000 messages)
with the messages in this group, I have seen many requests for help
with problems about attachments. I am interested in helping
diagnose the problem if I can. I don't need help with a workaround;
I don't mind saving
attachments, which works for me. I am a developer with Visual
Studio 2008 and such and I will attempt to diagnose the problem if
possible.
I had assumed I don't have the problem but I am getting the
following when
I try to view a jpeg attachment:
"Windows cannot find 'Photo0192.jpg'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again."
Is that the same problem most people are getting when they have a
problem with attachments?
The only thing I am aware of that might have caused a problem is
that I installed IE 8 when it was still very buggy, and then I
uninstalled it. Later at some point Windows Update re-installed IE
8 (I assume that happened when IE 8 was released). I assume that
since most people encountering the problem are non-technical, they
would not have installed a beta version of IE 8.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to diagnose the problem? You
can contact me offline from the group using the instructions I have
for a reply email address, which is gate at my web site. Or you can
use an email
address from my other web site, SimpleSamples.info. My MSDN user
name is "Simple Samples" (with the space).
Could the problem be a security problem? If so, could it might help
to audit security failures? I am not sure of the details of doing
that, but I
am interested in trying things such as that if it helps diagnose the
problem for Microsoft to know what to fix.
