Sorry, never thought to include all that! The email is Yahoo. I don't access
that account through my Outlook Express, I only go to Yahoo to read it. I
have never had any problem with opening the files before. When I click the
attached downloaded file, I get the options of Open, Save, and Cancel, the
Open link won't work. On the photos I get nothing popping up, on the wmv
files I get this notice:
"Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn,
or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that
has been moved, renamed, or deleted."
There is also a Web Help link that brings me to this message:
You've encountered error message C00D1197 while using Windows Media Player.
The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.
Cannot find the file
Windows Media Player cannot find the file. You might encounter this error
message for one of the following reasons:
 You are trying to use a file in the Windows Media Player library, but the
Player cannot find the file. The file may have been moved, renamed, or
deleted from your computer.
 You are trying to use a file that is stored on another computer, but you
are not connected to a local area network (LAN) or to the Internet. Connect
to the network or Internet, and then try again.
 You entered a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the Open URL dialog box,
but the path is not valid. Verify that the file name is spelled correctly and
that the path to the file is correct.
 You clicked a link on a Web page, but the link is not valid.
 You are trying to use a file that is stored on a server, but the server is
not available (for example, the server is busy or not online).
 You are trying to use a file that is stored on a server, but some network
protocols in the Player are not enabled. Enable all network protocols, and
then try again.
 You are trying to use a file that is stored on a server, but the server is
not configured correctly for protocol rollover (for example, you connected to
the server using the MMS protocol, but the server cannot roll over to the
HTTP protocol to deliver the content). If you still cannot use the file after
enabling all network protocols in the Player, contact the Web page provider.
 You are trying to use a file that is stored on another computer, but the
proxy server settings for the Player are not configured properly. Verify that
your proxy settings are correct.
To enable all network protocols
Click the arrow below the Now Playing tab, and then click More Options.
Click the Network tab.
In the Streaming protocols area, select all the protocol check boxes.
To verify your proxy server settings
Click the arrow below the Now Playing tab, and then click More Options.
Click the Network tab.
Verify your settings in the Streaming proxy settings area.
Note
If you do not know what your proxy server settings should be, on the Network
tab, select a protocol, click Configure, and then select Autodetect proxy
settings or Use proxy settings of the Web browser (available for HTTP
protocol only).

So, I assume something is screwed up in my settings or something, or
something is blocking access to these files unless they are saved to my
computer. I checked the streaming protocols and the proxy settings. I hope
this explains it better.
