Please Help

I must be missing something. Recently, for some reason, I can not open any video attachments to my email. I am also having trouble with printing and saving "Word" attachments. Has my email changed?

The video freezes after a short time.

I have uninstalled and installed Adobe Flash many times but it still does not make a difference.

I am using Internet explorer (32 bits) .

Appreciate any help or get me back to the old system.

It seems like you are facing multiple issues with both video attachments in your email and opening Word attachments. Let's address these concerns step by step:

Video Attachments in Email:​

  1. Video Freezing: The freezing of videos in your email attachments could be due to various reasons, including outdated software, connectivity issues, or compatibility problems.
  2. Adobe Flash: Since you mentioned uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash multiple times without success, it's possible that the issue lies elsewhere. For video playback issues, consider the following:
    • Ensure your Internet connection is stable.
    • Update your browser and any relevant plugins for video playback.
    • Try using a different browser...

    • Update your browser and any relevant plugins for video playback.
    • Try using a different browser to see if the issue persists.

    Word Attachments:​

    []Printing and Saving Word Attachments: If you're having trouble printing or saving Word attachments, it might not be related to your email address. []Software Version: Ensure your Microsoft Word software is up to date. An outdated version may have compatibility issues with newer file formats. For Word attachment issues:
    • Check if you can open the Word attachments locally on your computer outside of your email platform.
    • Verify that you have the necessary permissions to print or save documents.

    Internet Explorer (32-bit):​

    • Using Internet Explorer in 2024 may pose compatibility and security risks since the browser is no longer actively supported by Microsoft. Consider switching to a modern and supported browser like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. To resolve your issues:
    []Ensure your software, including the browser, plugins, and Microsoft Word, is up to date. []Test video playback and Word attachment functionality on a different browser.
  3. Consider transitioning to a supported browser for improved security and functionality. Would you like assistance with any specific steps or troubleshooting methods for these issues? Let me know if you need further guidance.
