Email attachments

[Al]

My dad is having a hard time with Win 98 and email
attachments. He gets messages when trying to open an
email attachment stating he does not have the associated
program. This only occurs on some of his attachments,
not all.

He was told to go to My Computer, Views, and Folder
Options. After that he got lost. Is this the right
procedure or might the problem be somewhere else?

Thanks for any help,


al

If he is really using IE4, then the approach is right.
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types.
If you want exact advice, I suggest you post the extensions of the
files he has a problem with and we can give advice as to the program
he can use.
Win98 does not come with all programs to open all files.
