When I open my e-mail attachments,they show up as a .pdf and are encoded. I have never had this problem. What do I do?

I have had the same computer and outlook for almost a year. Today, all my e-mail attachments that I received were showing as a .pdf and when I clicked to view them, they were encoded. Please help!!

Hi,
What type of account did you setup in Outlook? Exchange, IMAP or POP3?
Please go to the Webmail site, check if the attachments are still ok.
Kindly create a new profile to setup the account again, check if the attachments are alright:

    It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it to the timeline, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.
    P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

    Hi there,
    I have had my Macbook for 18 months and have never experienced this problem with strange windows suddenly opening in Safari.  I know this happens on windows 8 computers a lot, and it has never happened on my Macbook before.
    Please can someone tell me how to get rid of these.  I have reset my Safari and rebooted my computer, and don't know what else to do.  This is very frustrating, as I cannot just do what I need to do.
    Thank you

  • My YAHOO e-mail suddenly announces that my resolution is too LOW. I have never had this problem before with MOZILLA. HOW CAN I CHANGE MY RESOLUTION? I

    I have been using Mozilla Firefox for ages on my laptop, using Windows 7. I use Yahoo mail for my e-mails. Today, when I booted up, I received a message from Yahoo saying that my "screen resolution is TOO LOW". Never had this before!!!
    I tried your helpline and people have obviously had the same issue. You tell us this, how many people and if anybody has had the problem today.....but YOU DO NOT TELL US HOW TO CURE THE PROBLE, but you trawl us through a whole load of screens that are about totally different problems.
    SIMPLE SUGGESTION :- If someone has a problem that others have had (just like me), please could you ALSO kindly provide a solution.
    Why has this problem suddenly come up anyway??? I look forward to your reply & advice.

    This can happen if you've zoomed the page. That effects the screen dimensions as reported by JavaScript and seems to confuse Yahoo.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • When I try to purchase or download an app on my iPad, the appstore sends a message that my Apple ID cannot be used with the iTunes store. I have never had this problem and don't know what to do. Please help!!!!!!!

    Lately I have been trying to download some apps but when i click install, the appstore comes up with a message saying that my apple ID can't be used in the iTunes store. This has hever happened to me before and when I go to the settings and the Appstore, then click see Apple ID, it doesn't open. Please help, I don't know what to do. Is this a bug from iOS7.0.4???

    JUst experienced the exact  same problem after changing password.Getting same message. Hope someone has an answer for this.

  • I am trg to open a PDF and I am getting a security warning that says allow cancel or block and then it says it needs a signature to open the document I have never had this problem before it is on a public document I am trying to view any help is apperciat

    I am trying to open a PDF in and I am getting a security warning that says block , close , or allow and then it still will not open then it says it needs a signature it is a public document any help is appreciated thank you in advance sorry this is my first time on here

    I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you sure it want a "signature" and not "password"? If it asks you for password then the document is encrypted and you need to know the password toopen it. The fact that it is a "public" PDF, whatever you mean by "public" does not mean anything. If it is not that then:
    Which product are you using, which version (including minor), which platform (Win/Mac), which OS/version? Please, include screenshots of the alerts, warnings that you get.

  • Lately it has been taking longer for Firefox to open and will lockup occasionally. Firefox has been my browser for years and I have never had this problem before. Its there anything I can do about this problem?

    Once this happens, it takes a while like it is catching up but eventually will clear the jam. It has locked up and or crashed and I manually have to reset my computer.

    This can happen if you've zoomed the page. That effects the screen dimensions as reported by JavaScript and seems to confuse Yahoo.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • HT202663 Tonight I am having problems keeping my wifi in use when I go into an app.  I go in an sign back in to my wifi and it stops again when I go into an app.  Have not had this problem until today.  Have had my iPad since October.  Please help.

    I have never had this problem before.  I have moved closer to the router and it still does it.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

    Hey the1stpotada,
    I would take a look at the recommended steps in this article and run through them to see if they help resolve the issue. Some of the steps may be slightly different depending on what operating system you're using:

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
