I know that most D-Link stuff is fairly standard. If you post the model number I will look up the manual and try to talk you through it.

How kind of guys are on this post.

I use MS Outlook for my E_mails and I am having trouble viewing attachments. When I click to open the attachment it tells me that the application can not be found. How do I set up MS Outlook to open these attachments?

I can veiw the attachment if I save the file first.

Your help would be appreciated

Paul

My guess would be that it is something to do with MS security settings some of which are difficult if not impossible to override.

What version of Outlook are you using and which Office service packs are installed?

Edit
Do you have the problem with all or just some types of attachment?

Cannot open attachments in Microsoft Outlook

SUMMARY
Microsoft Outlook includes a feature that blocks attachments that are considered unsafe. If you receive an e-mail message that contains an attachment that contains one of the file types that are considered unsafe, you may receive the following message:
Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: [...]
Although Outlook blocks access to the attachment, the attachment still exists in the e-mail message.

This article discusses the methods to use if you have to open an attachment that has been blocked in Outlook.


Hope that helps ;-)

paul1812, this sounds more like a badly installed application since it is looking for the application but not finding it. What extension are you trying to open and what application comes up by clicking on the name? Suggest you reinstall it. Otherwise you might be able to change the registry information if you know how.

Optimist, Brianboru and Kyak Many thanks for you prompt reply. Reinstalled my photo aplications and all is well

Thanks

Just about to buy some new hardware. However some of the customised software we presently use we will still need to use for the next 8-10 weeks or so will be DOS based. Can this run under windows XP pro?

edit, now having a look in Gopogle and I see there could be a problem. Hmm, will have to try on my XP PC at home.

Seymour - I moved datafile (like sage?) which is dos based onto xp pro with no problems - however I did have to upgrade my Lloyds Link.

I think your project managr should really try one and see!

That means me. Thanks Brian. This is an old system called Optisoft which no-one will have heard of and is no longer supported - hence the move to new software and machines.

Most DOS software will run OK but you may need to do a little tweaking of the settings.

Right click on the shortcut to your DOS program, click properties and then goto the Compatibility Tab.

Sc, agree with Optimist unless it needs to speak directly to a piece of hardware in which case it may well not work.

Yes, that could cause a problem.

Thanks guys. This is ultra basic software we're talking. Doesn't talk to any hardware so will give it a go.

StLuke,

Although I am not familiar with this product you need to be looking at setting such as enable Java.
