Hi Shirley, Its very comforting to know someone else who has the same problem 
as me - I just give up and assume I'm too late to dally with such things.  
Regards Joan

  Subject: [u3aavcuss] E mail attachments I cannot open


  Good morning everyone

  I have received an e mail from the District Council with an attachment which 
I cannot open.  (This often happens, and I now know how to ask friends to 
re-send using a different form, but don't want to have to write similarly to 
outside agencies). The following message appears when I try to open them

  'This file does not have a programme associated with it for performing this 
action. Create an Association in the Folder Options Control Panel'

  I am still using Windows XP and cannot find the 'Options Control Panel'.  I 
have tried all the folder files, and associated options but nothing seems to 
have anything to do with the required action!  I think that at some stage I 
must get a more up-to-date computer, but am partly put off by the fact that as 
soon as one does that, they bring out a new programme.
