There's possibly two problems...\n   Go to the file types  tab  in folders options.  You'll get a list of file extensions. Click on the one that you can't open and it may show you what program will open that file type.  If nothing is there, click on new and browse or type in the name of the program you want to open that extension.  \n\n   The other problem may be that you are not using html viewing in your email program, the file type will not display.  If you view in html, the pics or files should display in your email box.

My first suggestion would be to clear your browser's cache to make sure it's just not too bogged down to work. If you need instructions for that, you can find them here: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/errors/errors-17.html\n\nIf that doesn't work, the most common solutions are listed here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006010904841

I have XP and can run Yahoo Mail Beta.  But let me be honest with you...i love Yahoo but the Mail Beta is horrendous!  It needs a lot of work!\n\nIt's similar to Microsoft Outlook which I liked but there were so many problems that its just not worth it!\n\nStick with the old mail.

I suspect you are missing the "helper file / program" for this file type.  If the operating system (Microsoft XP) does not have the program to view the file, an X is displayed.   Try right clicking on the picture and selecting SAVE AS to see the file name.  Look at the extension, then search yahoo with this extension to download the viewer.\n-KOZ\nGilbert, Arizona\nhttp://wwww.affirmtech.net\nAffirmative Computer Services - Phoenix Computer Repair + USA phone support -- Quality American Support -- "Taking back American Computer Repair & Support from inferior Foreign Country Support"

Difficult to fully assess given the information but these are some things to look for / try:\n - verify that pop-up blockers disabled for mail.yahoo.com\n - consider adding yahoo.com / mail.yahoo.com to your trusted sites if you are using IE, I think Firefox has similar setting\n - verify that your browser settings allow images to load from 3rd party sites (at least for yahoo mail ... I had this problem in Firefox, had to re-enable it for mail ... probably not directly relevant to this particular problem)\n - check your java / javascript settings to ensure they are allowed for Yahoo Mail (see Add to Trusted Sites above)\n - verify that you have Java installed on your PC (check Start / Control Panel / AddRemove Programs) - I believe Yahoo Mail uses javascript and I know the Yahoo Mail Beta does\n - if you don't have the Sun Java JRE (Java Runtime Environment) installed visit http://www.java.com and install it\n - log out of Yahoo, clear your browser cache (and maybe cookies), exit your browser\n - clear your temporary directory: run "Start / Run / %temp% <enter>% to launch a Windows Explorer window directly to your temporary directory, delete everything or at least anything that looks like it relates to Yahoo. (Hint: in Detail view, sort by name, or date to review.)\n - restart your browser and try again\n - if still doesn't work and you are using a version of IE older than 5.0 upgrade\n - patch your browser (and computer) at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com\n     > or consider trying an alternate browser: IE, Firefox, Opera are good choices\n\nGood luck.

It could mean you are short of memory and then the system barfs and gives you the debugging option. If you say yes, it will take you to OBA tool to debug but it wont resolve your problem. You have few options without knowing what kind of attachment ( word, vbs, xls etc.) its difficult to suggest an option. If it is just that attachment but you can open up other kind of attachments ( pictures, music, documents) I would say your attachment is too large. You can buy additional RAM ( which are around 30 bucks these days). Another option would be to open it up using a different email provider. For instance, if Hotmail, Yahoo instead of Outlook. On a side note,  ME is not supported any longer, you may want to upgrade yourself to XP...\n\nSlow moving mouse is an indication that your CPU memory usage is high,, the system/kernel is processing too many things. It sounds like you may need to get more memory and an upgrade to XP/Vista

This particular problem can be due to various reasons. like corrupted cookies or cache or even browser. Please update your browser but before doing that if you are trying to access Yahoo Mail through office please refresh the page and it should work fine. This is because of firewalls used by companies.\n\nHowever if this is at your place then clear out all cache and cookies and if still the problem is not resolved then update the browser. However if you still face the same problem, please get in touch with Yahoo! Mail guys who can then check the information through there back hand tools and get it rectified.

I use 'remote desktop' to access my email from my home computer when I am away from home.\n\nYou can set it up under xp pro to run on the machine to 'log into' and xp home has the client to connect 'with'. I do not think xp home has the ability to accept connections however.
