I cannot view my attachments. Some a wmv and mpg files. I get an error message saying. This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel. How do I do this. I belive I am running outlook 6 and have winxp home. Thanks

Try downloading a new version of the Microsoft Windows Media player. If you have a version of the Windows Media Player, try associating the .wmv and .mpg file types with the WMP. You can open WMP/Tools/Options/Formats tab and click the "Select All" button. OK your selections.

If that doesn't work, you may need to download new "codecs". Both codecs and the WMP updates can be found on the Windows Update site. You can get there by opening the Internet Explorer / Tools / Windows Update command.

I hope this helps!

Note: There are other programs that can be used to view these file types if you prefer. Try this Google search results page for some examples: Click Here
