I have a Yahoo email account and a Hotmail email account. Neither one is
setup in Outlook or any other email browser, I logon to the respective
websites to check email. My problem is, on both accounts, I cannot open jpg
or wmv attachments. I can save the attachment to my PC and then open it, but
if I click to open it from my email, it does nothing...there is no response.
I'm assuming there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed.
This is something that has worked fine up until a few weeks ago.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
