I have a problem that has just occurred, when i try to open an email
attachment I get the following message This file does not have a programme
assosiated with it for performing this action. Create an assosiation in the
Set Assosiation control panel. Please could someone helpas I have no idea
what to do to overcome the problem also could you break it down to its
simplest form as I have only the basic knowledge of computers.
Thank you very much.
 
It means that someone has sent you a mail attachment and nothing is
installed on your PC that can open that attachment.
We would need to know the name of the attachment suffix ie somename.***?
(somenameDot ?) in order to advise
 
If you click on the paper clip, you will see something like this :

( file name ).(extension) ( size of the attachment )
example : Volcano.pps (129kb)............... extension is : pps
Post that extension name of yours.

..Hi there, thanks to you both for responding to my cry for help, it would
appea that it is not only recent email attachments that will not open but
older ones as well. these are the ones that will not open
Instant_DUI.wmv 600kb 02.mpg pizza.wav 682kb chickentalk.mp3 618kb
the ones ending .pps are opening fine.

Thanks once again,

Roy
 
The wmv, mp3 should I believe open in Windows Media Player, the mpg in
whatever picture program you have installed
