Reading 'pdf' attachments to Outlook Express Email

I can't read 'pdf' attachments to my Outlook Express mail. I get an Error Message "This message does not have a program associated with it"
However, I can save the message to my computer 'My Documents' and it then opens fine with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is associated with 'pdf' files in Control Panel - Folder Options.
Computer: Compact Presario
System: Windows XP
Outlook Espress 6
Adobe Reader 8
Thanks,
Darleen

all versions of MS operating system handle this sort of differently but here is the general approach
(windows 7):
control panel -> associate file type or protocol with a specific program -> scroll down to PDF
if you have successfully installed ADOBE, you should see that as a choice, click on it and your system will update so now in OUTLOOK all PDF files will be opened by ADOBE, simple but not very straight forward.

Firefox 4 hangs when removing attachments from Outlook Express email

When I open an email in Outlook Express 6 (Windows XP Pro) and try to drag & drop an attachment to the desktop with Firefox 4 open in the background, my computer hangs. This only happens when FF4 is open - I have no problem removing attachments with IE8, Chrome 10, or no browser open. It is repeatable (even after reboot) and it happened with every attachment I tried so far (PDF, JPG, & RTF)
I don't have to release the attachment - it's locked up as soon as I start dragging it. The cursor stays a slashed circle even when hovering over the desktop (as opposed to it turning into a box with a "+" when FF4 is not open).
When frozen, my CPU is pegged at 100%, which is split between 2 processes - firefox.exe and msimn.exe. I can kill the Firefox application in Task Manager, but it takes awhile (including dumprep.exe after firefox.exe is terminated).
The only Add-ons I added was Acrobat X, Flash, and AdBlock Plus. I tried disabling AdBlock, but that had no effect - it still hangs.
Any ideas? Can anyone else repeat this on another Windows XP / Outlook Express computer?

Cannot print .pdf attachments in Outlook 2010 on local usb printer using the lastest Adobe Reader

We can't print pdf attachments from Outlook 2010 on a users local printer via usb with the latest Adobe Reader but it can print to a network copier. We can print from the local printer emails, webpages, regular pdf's on the hard drive.
Please advise and thanks.

What is the behavior that you are seeing? Are you getting some error or is it simply failing to print with Reader 10.1.2.

When doing a quick print with a right click on the pdf attachment, it will print.
Also, please let me know that if a simple Right Click > Print operation is working, then what exactly is the operation that is failing.

All Outlook Express email lost with IOS upgrade

I upgraded iTunes to the latest version and upgraded IOS from 4 to 6. Now Pocket Earth maps works on my iPod, but my Outlook Express email on my PC has been completely destroyed. All my emails and contacts are gone!!! What can I do? Is there a solution other than trying to restore my PC to an earlier date and forgetting about the maps for my iPod. (They aren't that useful anyway.) Please help me if you can.

Thanks, but I was able to get all my email data back. I took my PC to Office Depot and their computer guy said it was a user profile error. He changed my identity back to main identity in Outlook Express and that fixed my problem. It cost me $30 but at least it's fixed.

No no no... you are not receiving email from Outlook express. It doesn't work that way.

How do you add a outlook express email address to iphone 4s

How do I transfer my Outlook Express emails (dvx files) to a program on my iMac?

I have my old Outlook Express emails on a flash drive in hidden files (dbx) and would like to at least be able to read those files. I have Thunderbird on new Mac as well as apple Mail. I do not have Outlook. Is there a way I can convert the dbx files to .mbox files? Or at least be able to read the dbx files or transfer into THunderbird? I have googled this until I am crazy.

Actually those .DBX files are just Text files that can be opened with any Text Editor like Text Edit app.
Not sure about how to get them into Thunderbird. The place to ask that would be over at the Mozilla Thunderbird support forum.

Why will links in Outlook Express emails no longer open a tab in Firefox?

Before firefox update, when I clicked a web link in an Outlook Express email, Firefox would automatically open and go to the correct website. This no longer happens. Where do I change the settings?

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+the+e-mail+program+used+by+Firefox
You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.<br />
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.<br />
You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.<br />

This can also be a problem with the mimeTypes.rdf file.

Unable to read PDF attachments past 1st page in iOS4

I have upgraded to iOS4
Now I am unable to read PDF attachments past the 1st page.
I have received a number of suggestions (like resetting the phone) but to no avail.
Anybody else with the same problem?

Thanks for the valiant attempt!
I uninstalled Stanza and hard reset the iPhone (Home+Sleep until the Apple appears)
I tested a couple of new messages with fresh PDF attachments, and the problem
did not go away.
At this point I may have to consider some sort of software corruption with my iOS4
Regards

Hi.
Does this laptop come with Windows 7 by any chance ?
Outlook Express has been replaced with Windows Mail, and is pretty much very similar in use. Indeed there is even an enhanced version called Windows Live Mail. See :-

Depending on if you wish to stick with what you know, there are other mail clients worth thinking about - e.g. Thunderbird

How can I sync Outlook Express email with Nokia 58...

Hello -
I'd like to know if/how I can sync my works outlook express emails with my nokia 5800? Not via a web browser but setting up the sync in the messages area. All the sites/manuals I've searched are too vague and don't seem to offer any explanations on what I need to do specifically for outlook.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks

In general you don't sync with a mail client's local message store (such as the Outlook Express message store on your Work PC). You generally sync to a mail server.
So what you can do is find out which server your Outlook Express mail client is configured for on your PC, and then use the same server settings on your Nokia Phone.
For further questions, you may want search in, and post to the Mail, Messaging & Browsing discussion forum.
