This is one of those questions that are difficult to answer without specifics. Type of e-mail program, what attachments, are you at work (behind a firewall), etc.

If you can't access it through Start>My Documents then probably you haven't set the target of that link in case. If so, just Right-click "My Documents" shortcut from Start, click properties, click move and find the real My Documents in your hardrive.\n\nIf that's not the problem, then probably you have a corrupted My Documents, or you are not allowed to access it...

You should still be able to write a message with the attachments...try starting a new message, or if you have things written copy and paste.

I suggest you once cleanup all you temp file from your browser's cache and also delete cookies and restar the computer.\nAll done now try to mail someone and send some attachments.\nmake sure your attachments are virus free.\ntry and tell.

You should be able to run a search (Start-> Search-> Files & Folders) and locate the temporary directory and the file.\n\nAlso, it may have saved IN the email.  Re-Open the Email and the attachment and see if it is still there.\n\nAnother option may be to open Word and click on File, go down to the bottom of the options, the name of the file should be there, open from that point.\n\nGood luck, there are few things worse in computer land than working on something and then losing it.

you need to change it to a zip file which make it easier for the recipient to open. go to winzip for further information.

WELL TRY TO REFRESH THE PAGE IF THE ATTACHMENT IS IN YAHOO SOMETIMES IT IS NO TYOUR BROWSER BUT THE SITE A LOT OF TIMES. TRY SENDING THE EMAIL TO ANOTHER EMAIL ACCOUNT IF YOU HAVE IT AND TRY TO OPEN IT THROUGH ANOTHER EMAIL PROVIDER AND SEE IF YOU HAVE THE SAME ERROR.  IF YOU DO AND YOU KNOW THAT IT IS A LEGIT EMAIL THEN DISABLE EMAIL SCANNONG TEMPORARILY

Well, it doesnt work with attachments alone.  Try checking your mail with more than 3 windows, one of them is likely to tell you that your log in session is expired.  Maybe its a security thingie on their part, to make sure that your box is not being compromised.  I think you just need to be patient.  As long as two windows can do the stuff, use them as much as you can and send them.  If it doesnt work, try gmail (not much good advice as we are using Yahoo! services now, heehee). good luck

Same Problem here, cannot attach any type of file, jpegs txt, doc, I get an "Invalid file specified" error message,only happens for yahoo mail in IE6, no problem doing it in hotmail etc so it is a Yahoo/IE6 problem. Have XP home bang up to date,no spyware, viruses, trojans etc etc happened this week so its a new problem, please no stupid answers like: use firefox, firewalls, etc. a good technical answer please. Using computers for years so not a newbie. Just a thought, was using IE7 beta, attachments worked there, uninstalled it and then noticed that in yahoo after attaching a file - and then before returning to the main body of the message, windows says 'unrecognised file format', for all types of files and sizes, reset all options to defaults, reinstalled critical updates, checked that nothing was inadvertantly blocked in the BHO's etc etc etc. so! any ideas anyone, thanks.....\nANSWER2: 10 minutes after I posted this I found the answer and got yahoo back on track accepting attachments to outgoing mail. Go to this site http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/ietips.htm               MVP most valued professional and the fourth item on the page is ODD TOOLBAR BEHAVIOUR. Read instructions!\ndownload the  RESETBROWSERTOOLBAR.REG and once merged reboot computer and it works. Now I get a message when I click attach - 'allow frames across domains' yes!(I can live with that!)and it attaches no problem, obviously this was the code that was causing the problem. Hope it works for you too. If I find a way to get rid of the new message I'll post it here but for the moment at least yahoo is back to normal.

maybe the person who send you the attachments didn't do it properly.  Therefore, the .jpg files are corrupted and you can see them.  If there is not the case, then try to download them. The other choice you get is to use a gmail account....You don't have to download anything. The picture will open in a different window.

Try searching through your hard disk again.\n\nDo you have a backup copy stored in CD or thumb drive? \nYou should always backup all your important documents..

In outlook express, go to Tool -> Options\nthen click on 'Security' tab and uncheck 'Do not allow attachments to be open or saved'.\n\nThen click ok.

Outlook Express might be protecting you from what it sees as a dodgy attachment, or you may not have the right file associations. Instead save it, and then right click on the file and choose a program to launch it. And hope it's not a virus.

Did you retry a few times, or try refreshing the page?\n\nSometimes it works when you open in a new window - ie when you go to click on the link/button to open the attachment, right click on it instead and then select Open in New Window.

***Best Answer***\n\n1. Open Outlook Express.\n2. Click on Tools in the menu, and scroll down to Options.\n3. Click on the Security tab.\n4. Make sure “Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus” is UNCHECKED.\n5. Click on the Apply button.  Click on OK.\n\nYou should now be able to open attachments.

If you haven't already, reboot the machine and try deleting the message with the attachment.  If that doesn't work, try this.\n1) Select the message\n2) Hold down the SHIFT key and then press DELETE\n\nThis will bypass the Deleted Items Folder.
