Re: e-mail

1. Since Windows 7 doesn't come with e-mail, nobody but you knows what e-mail program you use. It could even be webmail, but then nobody except you knows what browser is used. So please tell some details.
2. Won't any attached file open, or only certain filetypes. Say: jpg, pdf, doc(x), txt. If you don't know, send one of each to yourself and try to open them from your inbox.
3. Any error message, or does just nothing happen?
4. Some filetypes might be blocked by your antivirus. Any details about that?
