      <![CDATA[<p>I can't open attachments either. The Getting File Information Window pops up when I try to download a file.  It never gets out of that loop and I can't open any files in Yahoo or Hotmail. I am sure it has something to do with my norton protection center.  Right?  I don't know what to click to allow me to open attachments or save attachments to my computer.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Since a few weeks I have been unable to open attached files, even simple textfiles, sent to my hotmail adress. I tried sending my incoming mails to to myself on another hotmailadress and used the same computer to open the mail. Then I could open the attached files. So the problem must in some way be in settings (unknown to me) for my usual hotmail address. Which??<br />

      <![CDATA[<p>Leo,</p>

<p>My problem is as follows:</p>

<p>Someone sent me a Zip file, but I can't open it. I get a message that there are too many files inside the Zip file, so the file can't be scanned.</p>

<p>Sending the file to another adress is no option either, because Hotmail just ignores the file altogether. What am I to do???</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I am unable to open any attachments that come attached to a Hotmail e-mail. I can open them with another provider however. The majority of these e-mails have been sent from, what I consider to be, very secure sources. I took Jules' advice but it did not work. I had someone send me an e-mail from Microsoft Community Notification says they have the answer but when I attempted to open the link all that happened was a blank window appeared with Done indicated in the lower left. It appears that I cannot open anything attached to the e-mail, only the e-mail itself. Any suggestions on what I can do?</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>yeah..i experienced the same problems as Angie. The whole internet explorer just hangs whenever i try to open or save a normal attached file from hotmail that could usually be received before this. And also, the attached file only cant seem to be opened in my laptop but when i use another computer to access to it, there wasnt any problems at all. How come?? Pls help!! <br />
<div class="leocomment">One of my suspicions in cases like this is that your firewall, or your security software, is somehow interfering with the web browser. I've seen that kind of behavior, and it's something that does differ from machine to machine. It's worth looking at your security software's configuration.<br /><br />

      <![CDATA[<p>In the last few months, I have had difficulty opening emails with attachments.  When I open an email that has an attachment, hotmail just freezes up and I can't do anything.  I have to ctrl, alt, delete to get to task manager and end task on the internet.  These are .doc files that should be able to open, but it locks up my whole hotmail.  I can't even navigate back to my inbox.  I suspect some issue between hotmail and vista but can find no known problems.  My husband has been experiencing the same problems on his computer with his hotmail.  Any ideas?  the article didn't help.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>So, is hotmail now acting as big brother, deciding what I can and cannot open in my hotmail? I cannot send myself pictures from my own cell phone, even though it is on my "safe" list? Thank you hotmail, you have forced me to set up another email account under another provider. I will not use hotmail again. This is BS. How dare YOU decide what I can and cannot open.</p>]]>

Their advice was as follows:  IE/Tools/Options/Programs/Manage Add-ons/disable Norton Confidential.  Open Norton and go to Phishing Protection and click ignore.  BINGO everything works.

      <![CDATA[<p>There seems to be a new problem here, related more to Hotmail's virus software than anything else.  It seems the current virus software update has screwed up the ability to scan .zip files, and the virus scan doesn't know how to even read them.  It just pops up an error saying "File contains too many embedded zip files" and won't let you touch it.  You can't forward it, can't download it, and it just sits.  They've changed things enough that you can no longer forward attachments that the virus scan hasn't already given the okay on.  I've gotten this on several occasions now, all very frustrating, and forcing me to use another email service just for attachments.</p>

<p>I've sent a complaint to MS about it, hopefully someone will fix it quick.  It only started happening in the past couple of weeks or so I think.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Mine is a strange one. First, I never open emails if I don't know the sender.<br />
Two weeks ago, I found that when I sent a '.doc' attachment, it couldn't be opened, (even tried sending one to myself!), but photo files and pdf files could be opened without any problem. I had no viruses in my computer, and then discovered this was happening when sending from any computer, work, friend, internet cafe etc.<br />
I suddenly discovered that it was my email account that was causing the problem, and it seems to be ok now I've opened a different account. Can a virus infect an email address? or has somebody hacked it?<br />
I'm still baffled (and stressed out !!), but at least seem to have the problem behind me, now.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I also have a problem all of a sudden downloading attachments from my hotmail emails.I read the article, but mine is all attachements.And only on my laptop. If I use a public computer at an internet cafe or the like - no problems. When I click on "download file", I get the download status popup box but it defaults to download to \login.srf Then when i click download I get an error popup box saying the destinationserver is unavailable.So if i change the destination folder to one of my choice on me harddrive, i get an error message to say the file can't be opened, it be used by another program.<br />
Any ideas? It's driving me crazy!!!!</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I lost my ability to open attachments right after an emachines restore for an audio driver was complete. When their techs fix a problem on a home based PC, do they change security enough to mess up the email? I did give them control over my computer to get the driver back on my computer.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I can't open attachments from Hotmail that other people with Hotmail accounts are able to open from their Hotmail accounts. Why is that? (I used to be able to, but now I can't. I am currently using 22% of my 1GB storage space - I don't know if that's relevant. Additionally, I can't re-order my Inbox messages by Sender, Subject, Date, etc. by clicking on the heading name, as other people can. I don't know if the cause of this is related to the attachment problem.) Thank you very much for any advice you can give me.</p>]]>
