I can see the attachments, and they have the correct file associations. .xls will show Excel, .doc will show Word.
When I double click on them, nothing happens. If I right click on them, I get the sub menu with options. If I click on open, again, nothing happens.
I can click Save As, and the attachment will be saved to my PC. I can them open the folder, double click on the file, and it will open using the default program.  I should be able to open the attachment directly from Windows Live Mail.

This seems to have just started. I have searched the web, but none of the "solutions" seems to work for me.
I already tried the "uncheck the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus."



I am running Windows 7 32 bit. Home Premium.
I have all of the latest Windows Updates.
